About this listen

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer who had raped and mutilated six women, murdering three of them. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early rapes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued?

Burrough is widely admired as a master storyteller, and this chilling tale raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

This title contains mature themes, including physical and sexual violence, that some listeners may find unsettling.

A quick read/listen. Very disturbing crimes and upsetting how he was able to get away with so much. The narrator has a very casual voice, it reads like he is sitting across from you gossiping about the story.

Tragic story that was preventable

Interesting read (listen) how do you trust people when you listen to these books 😞 have they worked out yet (powers that be) how to stop/work out how their minds work? Worth a listen if you’re interested in this stuff.

How do we stop this
