The chilling true story of Oregon's most shocking killer! Jimmy Rode was serving a sentence for burglary in a Florida prison when he met serial killer Ted Bundy. It was Bundy who gave him a Seattle newspaper containing personal ads--an easy means for meeting vulnerable female victims--that launched Rode on a coast-to-coast killing spree under the alias of Cesar Barone. Now, in detail, Lasseter unleashes the story of Jimmy Rode. Photo insert.

What happened to Ted Bundy?,
By One Fancy Angel "Life-Lover" (Milwaukee) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dead of Night (Onyx True Crime) (Mass Market Paperback)
A supposed highlight of this true crime book is that Ted Bundy turned Jimmy Rode on to the classified ads as a means of finding women victims. There is absolutely nothing in this book that would indicate Rode ever met Bundy....and absolutely nothing about want ads...unless I went into a trance while I was reading it. I found Lasseter's book very middle-of-the-road in terms of true crime books. I found it neither frightening nor informative. Rather, it proceeded from criminal stage to the courtroom without a moment of my heart stopping. Lasseter's approach to this case is, while thorough, boring and dispassionate. Don't buy this book!

One of the best true-crime books I have read,

This review is from: Dead of Night (Onyx True Crime) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read dozens of true-crime books, this one belongs to the category "very good". Lasseter describes the Jimmy Rode alias Cesar Barone case in a very interesting, matter-of-fact way, not in the "blood-was-splashed-all-over-the walls" style of some books that often give the true-crime genre a bad name. I especially liked the way the author described the location, Hillsboro,OR and the northwest of Oregon. I admired the outstanding work of all the detectives who finally brought the killer to justice.

A Fantastic Read!,

This review is from: Dead of Night (Onyx True Crime) (Mass Market Paperback)
Lasseter and King take you into the world of a serial killer. It was well-written and made you feel like you were in the midst of the actual investigation. I could hardly put the book down! It was a fantastic read!
