DESCRIPTION:
“Coston effectively conjures up the tense atmosphere of small-town Missoula . . A good tale.” —Publishers Weekly on To Kill and Kill Again
But in reality, she was unequipped for motherhood, financially strapped, and desperate. Sleep, My Child, Forever: Single mom Ellen Boehm appeared to be a devoted mother. Sgt. His victims included a preacher’s wife, a teenage runaway, and a female acquaintance. Within a year of each other, her sons, ages two and four, died mysteriously, and Boehm’s eight-year-old daughter suffered a near-fatal accident when a hair dryer fell into the girl’s bath. Two riveting true crime sagas—of a mother who murdered her two sons, and a sex-crazed serial killer who terrorized Montana—together in one volume. In this terrifying collection, veteran reporter and former Wall Street Journal editor John Coston recounts the disturbing crimes of Ellen Boehm and Wayne Nance, two seemingly ordinary citizens who killed for the most twisted and selfish reasons. Det. Louis Homicide soon unraveled a labyrinth of deception, greed, and obsession that revealed a cold-blooded killer whose get-rich-quick scheme came at the cost of her children’s lives. Then, one September night, Nance pushed his luck, preying on a couple that lived to tell the tale.. To Kill and Kill Again: To neighbors, Wayne Nance appeared to be an affable, considerate, and trustworthy guy. No one knew that he was the “Missoula Mauler,” a psychopath responsible for a series of sadistic sex slayings that rocked the idyllic town between 1974 and 1986. J
