Cries in the Desert (St. Martin's True Crime Library) by John Glatt

dark informative slow-paced

4.0

 This book is about the crimes of David Parker Ray. I heard about him on one of the podcasts I listen to, and I was certain I had a book about him. This was the book. One of Ray's victims was found wandering the streets in a state, with a padlocked collar attached to her. She told authorities a horrific story about being held captive, tortured, and raped. Eventually, she led them to Ray, who was then caught and charged with several other crimes. There were a lot of characters mentioned in this book, and it was a lot to take in, but it all came together in the end. I've seen some negative reviews about the writing style, but the style was fine with me. I thought it was a pretty informative read about David Parker Ray.
