Pain Killer
About This Book
In 1982, Americans began dying after taking Tylenol capsules that had been poisoned and then slipped back onto drugstore shelves. As the death toll climbed, fear spread across the country. Families threw out their medicines, quiet neighborhoods turned suspicious, and some cities cancelled Halloween. Decades later, the person responsible has never been identified or caught. The author's connection to the case began far earlier than 1982, when he was five years old and stumbled upon a buried secret. That childhood discovery grew into a much larger mystery. The man who was with him when he made the find later became notorious, and for many people he is still the prime suspect in the Tylenol murders. The book blends memoir with true crime. The author recalls that suspect, reflects on the murders and the country's shift away from a more innocent time, and describes his personal search for understanding the nature of evil. The killer has been called America's Jack the Ripper and the Tylenol terrorist, but the author refers to him as the Pain Killer.
