\nWhat drove the inconspicuous so ciopath to become a ruthless killer? During his nearly fifteen-year reign of terror\, Ronald Lloyd Bailey&rsquo\;s depraved obsession with sexual sa dism held communities across southeast Michigan in a shroud of fear. From the early 1970&rsquo\;s to the mid-1980s\, the former patient at one of Mi chigan&rsquo\;s foremost psychiatric hospitals abducted as many as fifteen teens and\, over time\, became a sadistic serial killer. In this shocking \, fast-paced account\, retired police officer and true crime author Rod S adler examines law enforcement's dedicated efforts in connecting the dots to stop an unknown killer\, and he poignantly chronicles the determination of the victims' families to triumph over tragedy. Sadler also examines Ba iley&rsquo\;s insanity defense that centered on the alleged abuse he endur ed at the hands of his psychiatrist. In doing so\, the bestselling author of KILLING WOMEN asks and answers the question: What drove the inconspicuo us sociopath to become a ruthless killer?
