Finding true crime books can sometimes be difficult. I haven't heard of the book, "The Thief," but I will be reading it soon. Ann Rule is my favorite true crime author. Her book, "The Stranger Beside Me" http://www.planetannrule.com/ contains a haunting first look into the real life of Ted Bundy, who was charming yet an insatiable cold-hearted killer. Many of his crimes were committed hear my childhood home. Reading the details are fascinating. Now that Ann Rule has updated her books into ebook format, I am able to enjoy them all.
