In this new book he enters the mind of John Wayne Gacy, the real-life 'Killer Clown', often said to be the inspiration for Stephen King's evil Pennywise in It.\nGacy lured victims to his home with the promise of work or a warm bed and then duped them into putting on handcuffs, claiming he wanted to show them a magic trick. He would then rape and torture his victims before killing them by suffocating or strangling them.\nTwenty-six were buried in the crawl space beneath his home; others were buried elsewhere on his property, while a handful were dumped in the Des Plaines River.\nGacy was executed for his crimes in 1994, but many questions remain unanswered. How many victims were there? Did Gacy act alone? And what drove John Wayne Gacy to murder? What caused the seemingly normal Gacy to sexually assault, torture and murder at least thirty-three young men and boys?\nDrawing on his many years' experience investigating and interviewing perpetrators of terrible crimes, Hunter seeks to understand what drove Gacy to unleash a reign of terror in suburban Chicago.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nBrad Hunter is the National Crime Columnist for The Toronto Sun. Previously he worked for the New York Post and his work has been published in newspapers and magazines around the planet. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and likes pubs, hockey, baseball and spending time with his family.","brand":"Ad Lib Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40443359854677,"sku":"9781802470765N","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/16a24ef4-7ae1-4aa2-8519-814e83abc7ab.jpg?v=1670329673","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/products\/inside-the-mind-of-john-wayne-gacy","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
