{"product_id":"requiem-for-a-female-serial-killer","title":"Requiem for a Female Serial Killer","description":"This psychological crime thriller takes us inside the mind of a unique female serial killer, a prostitute who murdered seven adult men-a case with which the author was intimately involved. The issues raised by this high-profile criminal case remain unresolved to this day.\nWomen, even prostitutes, have the right to self-defense in theory, but in practice, the story is more complicated.\nThis book will challenge everything you ever thought about prostitutes, serial killers, and justice in America.\nAileen Wuornos is a damaged soul, a genuine American outlaw, a symbol of women's rage, a symbol of what can happen to severely abused children, and of how our justice system fails women.\nChesler's involvement with a serial killer has haunted her ever since. She speaks in Aileen Wuornos' voice, as well as in her own, and delivers an incisive, original, and dramatic portrait of a cognitively impaired, traumatized, and alcoholic woman who had endured so much pain in her short life. When she'd had enough, the results were deadly.\nThis is a poignant, sometimes humorous, never-before-told behind-the-scenes tale. Wuornos' story is handled with great sensitivity, but also with realistic detachment by Chesler as she probes the telling moment, the telling phrase. Was Wuornos suffering from post-traumatic stress after a life lived on a \"killing field?\" Was she also \"born evil?\" So many prostitutes have been torture-murdered by serial killers-how did Wuornos, once prey, become a predator?\nRequiem for a Female Serial Killer will also haunt you. It won't let you put it down.\nTake a walk on the wild side. The ghost of Aileen Wuornos beckons.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1943003424\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1943003424.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Chesler, Phyllis\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
