Publisher's summary

This audiobook contains graphic statements that some may find very disturbing.

Given up for adoption by his mother at only a few weeks old, Robert Black is placed with physically abusive foster parents, setting the tone for who, and what, he'd become - a pedophile and serial killer. Starting at the age of five, he recalls being sexually curious and began placing items in his anus at the age of eight. He'd sexually assault hundreds of little girls before committing his first murder. Sadly, as law enforcement stumbled along with no leads or evidence, Robert Black would strike repeatedly, destroying families and preying on innocent little girls in the United Kingdom.

Chris Swinney is the best-selling true crime author of:

  • Robert Pickton: The Pig Farmer Killer
  • The Killer Handyman: The True Story of William Patrick Fyfe

He is also the author of the action/thriller Bill Dix Detective series.

  • Book 1 - Gray Ghost
  • Book 2 - The Cartel Enforcers

He donates most of his royalties to various organizations such as: Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), Cancer research, and PTSD/Military support groups.

Poor Writing

The narrator is OK....just OK. The book itself is poorly written. Not worth the money or a credit.

Hard to listen to

The narrator was terrible with his sing song voice and evidently not stopping at commas or stopping in the middle of a sentence to catch his breath. I hung in there because the topic was interesting.

zero background

the author doesn't know much about the crime. he's from San Francisco and doesn't know anything about the criminal or his crimes. It's like reading excerpts from a newspaper. Too many questions
