Inhaltsangabe

Accused serial killers - Charlie Chitat Ng and Leonard Lake - purportedly committed some of the grisliest crimes in the annals of criminal history. They allegedly kidnapped their victims, tortured them physically and mentally, wiped out entire families - including babies - yet Charlie "the Cheetah" Ng, many believe, has defied justice by cheating the death penalty. How has Charlie Ng - whose torture sessions were videotaped - managed to escape justice? Not only does this book unstintingly reveal the shocking, ruthless acts of these suspected killers and how they were finally caught, but it grapples with the larger question of how vicious murderers can manipulate the justice system. To answer these questions and to give the complete, uncensored story, Joseph Harrington and Robert Burger - the respected true-crime authors of Eye of Evil - interviewed scores of law officers, prosecutors, district attorneys, attorneys general, and judges. Nowhere else will all the fascinating twists and turns of this notorious case be found. Should serial killers have the right to postpone their trials indefinitely hoping that the death penalty will be outlawed?
