The Pickaxe Killers: Karla Faye Tucker & Daniel Garrett (A True Crime Short)
Sobre este e-book
From R. Barri Flowers, award winning criminologist
and internationally bestselling author of The Sex Slave Murders, comes a riveting
new true crime short, The Pickaxe Killers.
Having written about hundreds of notable
murders in his bestselling true crime book, Murders In The United States:
Crimes, Killer and Victims of the Twentieth Century, one case that stood out to
Flowers for its sheer brutality as well as shocking aftermath was that of Karla
Faye Tucker and Daniel Garrett, who used a pickaxe to hack to death two people.
It began in the wee hours of June 13, 1983,
in Houston, Texas, as lovers Tucker and Garrett broke into the apartment of
Jerry Lynn Dean. By the time the couple left, Dean and his companion, Deborah
Thornton, were dead following a vicious attack with a pickaxe and hammer.
In this 8000 word tale of revenge, murder,
substance abuse, betrayal, and redemption, the author gets to the root of the
violent crime that ended four lives and gripped the entire country as it’s
sordid details and shocking twists and turns played out over fifteen years.
As a bonus, included is a complete true crime
story on sexually motivated Canadian serial killer intimates Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo from
R. Barri Flowers’ bestselling true crime book, Serial Killer Couples: Bonded by Sexual Depravity, Kidnapping, and Murder.
An added bonus is an excerpt from The Sex
Slave Murders, in which the author probes into the lives of married serial
killers Gerald and Charlene Gallego and the sex slave fantasies that fueled
their abduction and murder of young women.
