In one persona Air Force Colonel Russell Williams is the commander of the largest Canadian Air Force base in the country, personal pilot for members of the Royal family, dignitaries and prime ministers. He was trusted and highly respected. The other persona: a rapist and murderer, becoming the most notorious criminal in recent Canadian history. He stalked, imprisoned, humiliated, raped and murdered countless young women. The police were unable to solve any of his crimes until a private citizen·s involvement with the victims enabled them to finally put the facts together.

Gibbs has done a masterful job of presenting this story. He gives a blow-by-blow account of the humiliation and torturing and killing of the women with other descriptions of the video tapes which Williams recorded of his actions, which are disturbingly graphic. He gives exacting details of interviews with family, friends and workers all in the attempt to explain the mystery of this bizarre serial killer. It is a disturbing narrative.
