Recenzii
“A chilling portrait of sociopath behavior, perverted family loyalty, official malfeasance, and political corruption. . . . Along the way, [Clarke] exposes the dark underbelly of the frontier myth. A comparison to In Cold Blood comes easily to mind.”—Arizona Daily Star
“Fascinating . . . Though the details of corruption in Arizona’s prison system are absorbing, the story of Tison’s psychological control over his three sons provides . . . riveting reading.”—Chicago Tribune
“A riveting account of a bloody crime spree and a first-class study of a cunning sociopath in action.”—Publishers Weekly
“Illuminating and absorbing . . . The book is more than a simple cops-and-bandits tale: it is a psychological study in the machinations of a master manipulator.”—Arizona Republic
