River Man. How Ted Bundy and I hunted the Green River Killer

1970s. Detective Robert Keppel participates in the investigation of Ted Bundy's crimes - one of the most notorious serial killers in America. The search for bodies, analysis of crime scenes, comparison of evidence across states, and the first steps in creating criminal profiling lead to Bundy's capture and death sentence. But evil does not disappear. In 1982, the first victim is found in the Green River, followed by dozens more in the woods. The investigation comes to a standstill. It is then that a letter arrives from death row: Ted Bundy offers his help and agrees to speak only with Keppel - the investigator who knew his crimes from the inside. He undertakes to explain the killer's logic, whom he calls the River Man. The deeper their conversations go, the harder it is to understand: is Bundy helping the police - or simply playing with the investigation? Robert Keppel's book is one of the most disturbing episodes in the history of criminalistics, showing how close one must sometimes come to evil in an attempt to stop it.
