REQUIEM FOR A FEMALE SERIAL KILLER IBD

Sinopse

This psychological crime thriller takes us inside the mind of a unique female serial killer, a prostitute who murdered seven adult men-a case with which the author was intimately involved. The issues raised by this high-profile criminal case remain unresolved to this day. Women, even prostitutes,áhave the right to self-defenseáin theory, but in practice, the story is more complicated.áThis book will challenge everything you ever thought about prostitutes, serial killers, and justice in America.áAileen Wuornos is a damaged soul, a genuine American outlaw, a symbol of womenâÇÖs rage, a symbol of what can happen to severely abused children, and of how our justice system fails women.CheslerâÇÖs involvement with a serial killer has haunted her ever since. Sheáspeaks in Aileen WuornosâÇÖ voice, as well as in her own, and delivers an incisive, original, and dramatic portrait of a cognitively impaired, traumatized, and alcoholic woman who had endured so much pain in her short life. When sheâÇÖd had enough, the results were deadly.This is a poignant, sometimes humorous, never-before-told behind-the-scenes tale. WuornosâÇÖ story is handled with great sensitivity, but also with realistic detachment by Chesler as she probes the telling moment, the telling phrase. Was Wuornos suffering from post-traumatic stress after a life lived on a 'killing field?' Was she also 'born evil?' So many prostitutes have been torture-murdered by serial killers-how did Wuornos, once prey, become a predator?áRequiem for a Female Serial Killer will also haunt you. It wonâÇÖt let you put it down.áTake a walk on the wild side. The ghost of Aileen Wuornos beckons.
