Dead Ends: The Pursuit, Conviction and Execution of Female Serial Killer Aileen Wuornos, the Damsel of Death

In 1989, Aileen Wuornos cruised Florida's I-95 for strangers and free rides. By 1990, seven of the men who had crossed her path had met their fate at the end of her .22 caliber pistol. Convicted in six of the murders, she claimed self-defense--then in turn blamed her ex-husband, her family, her lesbian lover, her defense team, the media, the Gulf War, and bum luck for the cold-blooded slayings. Written by the reporter who broke the story, this the startling account of Wuornos's brutal killing spree, which led to one of the most highly publicized trials, convictions, and executions in all of American crime.
