Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  KimSalyers | Oct 1, 2016 |   Really liked this book and planning on re reading Update August 6 2015. Wow what a great review I wrote.NOT! Lol. What I do remember that this was one of the first English books I read and that I was really shocked by this and always thought of it as a very good book. Now I am finally re reading this while reading approximately 3 other books. This is the story about 2 sadistic selfish men who managed to lure male and women to trust them only for the men and babies to be killed and for some of the women if not all to be raped and probably tortured, filmed and then killed. Took a photo of the picture that haunts me in the book: This is Kathy. Kathleen Allen. One of the victims. When I first looked at the photo I wondered "why is she looking so angry and sad posing for a photo, thinking could it be a mug shot. Only later did I realise it was one of the photo's Lake took of her!! I have read about one third and still think it is a great book. What I had forgotten though was that the victims in the bunker were not the first. Now I understand why they are not sure how many victims there were. Second time reading I still think this is a very good book I am glad to say. And I will never forget the victims, especially not Kathy.

A chilling chapter in California crime history: the story of two notorious serial killers and the sensational trial that horrified the nation. In 1985, two men were caught shoplifting in San Francisco. Charles Ng escaped, but Leonard Lake aroused suspicion--he was carrying someone else's driver's license. Four days after police took him into custody, Lake killed himself by swallowing a cyanide pill he had hidden in his clothes. Ng, meanwhile, had fled to Canada. Police traced the car Lake was driving to a man who had disappeared a year earlier. They then followed a trail of evidence to a remote property in the Sierra Nevada foothills. What they found there shocked even seasoned veterans of the force. Inspired by John Fowles's novel The Collector, Lake and Ng had turned a hidden concrete bunker into a grisly den, where the two had indulged in an orgy of sex crimes, torture, and murder that claimed at least sixteen victims. Police found forty pounds of bones from men, women, and children buried in a nearby plot--and videotapes the killers had made of their unspeakable acts. In Die for Me, true crime master Don Lasseter recounts the events surrounding their sensational crimes and capture, bringing readers face-to-face with pure evil.
