Synopsis

Paul St. Pierre was an alcoholic driven by an urge to kill all the time. He bullied his younger brother, Chris, into committing unspeakable acts. His childhood friend, Andrew Webb, took drugs, talked to skulls, and dreamed about eating human flesh. It was only a matter of time before the trio terrorized a quiet neighborhood near Tacoma, Washington, with the brutal murders of innocent victims caught in a storm of senseless rage. Then the twisted triad turned on each other - over money. Paul shot Andrew in the stomach. Chris called the cops. But with tortured individuals like these, justice opened the doors to more surprising revelations.

Head Shot. By Burl Barer. This book is a true crime story. It is about one of the most infamous murder investigations in my home town of Tacoma, Washington in 1984.

Goodreads review by Meredith on January 03, 2015

I have lived in Tacoma all my life, and had no idea these horrific events happened just miles from my house. Probably because I was 12 at the time! Maybe because the Green River Killer dominated the news for so many years. If you enjoy true crime books, you'll appreciate this one. Be warned, though,......more
