Fear collector

Ted Bundy, the real-life killer who terrorized the United States in the 1970s, haunts two women in very different ways. The first is a police officer who wonders whether her sister was among Bundy's victims. The second is a devoted admirer who wrote to Bundy while he sat in prison, and who has passed his dark ambitions on to her son. The son's plan is to win over young women, abduct them, and abuse more victims than any killer before him. When the officer begins to investigate, she finds herself drawn into a trap as twisted as the man it was modeled on.

Gregg Olsen is known for his true crime writing, and this novel blends that familiarity with real criminal history into a fictional suspense story.
