The true story of the serial killer who terrorized Cape Cod and captivated a nation...now in paperback!

In the winter of 1969, the bodies of four young women were discovered in a cemetery near the tip of Cape Cod. In a place once known as Helltown, the victims had been shot, stabbed, dismembered, and mutilated. As investigators would soon learn, the perpetrator was a young and handsome, serial killer named Tony Costa. A former taxidermist with two radically different sides to his personality and a penchant for violence, in a bizarre twist, Costa mobilized friends in the hippie community for support and retribution, captivating literary icons and rivals Kurt Vonnegut and Norman Mailer. Costa embarked on a daring cat-and-mouse game with investigators, who—as the body count kept growing—were desperate to put an end to the killing season on Cape Cod.
