Drawing on an unprecedented access to interviews, diaries, court records and the criminal himself, I is the inside story of Keith Hunter Jesperson, Oregon's "Happy Face Killer" who strangled eight innocent women in the 1990s. The murderer's own words chronicle his evolution from angry child to sociopathic murderer, from tormentor of animals to torturer of women. Through Olson's profoundly disturbing account, the killer describes in harrowing detail how he played his "death game" how he got away with it, taunting the police after they incarcerated the wrong people; and finally how he was finally brought to face justice.
