Then, meeting Wonder Parish, a writer with no pedigree, just a love of literature like him, Joe begins hoping for a future with her--but the old adage of "kill your darlings" may have to become literal for him to succeed in the writing life.

"Detective Kim Mager, a real-life version of Clarice Starling, reveals how she closed in on--and broke--one of Ohio's most infamous serial killers. On September 13, 2016, in the small town of Ashland, Ohio, emergency dispatchers received a 911 call from a terrified woman who claimed to be kidnapped. The man holding her hostage was Shawn Grate, a serial killer whom the press later dubbed 'The Ladykiller.' A key to his conviction and death sentence were Grate's extensive recorded confessions--all extracted by one woman: Detective Kim Mager. As an experienced specialist in sex offenses, Detective Mager was one of the officers assigned to Grate's case upon his arrest. . . Over a period of eight days, Mager conducted one interview after another, risking her life by sitting alone in the interview room with a malevolent predator. Using brilliant psychological strategy in a lethal game of wits, Mager successfully elicited his damning confessions to five murders, kidnapping, and multiple sexual assaults of women across Ohio"--Provided by publisher.
