Son
This is one of the most remarkable true crime books you will ever read. It is many things at once. For months, the story of a mother, a son and a city enmeshed in tragedy made headlines across the nation. This is the story behind the headlines. For more than two years, a rapist prowled the night streets of the homey, "All-American" city of Spokane, Washington, terrorizing women, sparking a run on gun stores, and finally causing one newspaper to offer a reward, the calls taken by the distinguished managing editor himself, Gordon Coe. In March 1981, luck and inspired police work at last produced an arrest, and Spokane shuddered. The man was clean-cut, teetotal, conservative -- and Gordon Coe's son.
