The untold true story of the serial killer who terrorized Cape Cod and captivated a nation. In the winter of 1969, the bodies of four young women were discovered in a cemetery near the tip of Cape Cod. In a place once known as Helltown, the victims had been shot, stabbed, dismembered, and mutilated. As investigators would soon learn, the perpetrator was a young, handsome, serial killer named Tony Costa. A bizarre former taxidermist with a split personality and penchant for violence, Costa ultimately mobilized friends in the hippie community for support and retribution and captivated literary icons and rivals Kurt Vonnegut and Norman Mailer. Costa embarked on a daring cat-and-mouse game with investigators, who - as the body count kept growing - were desperate to put an end to the killing season on Cape Cod.
Master storyteller Casey Sherman takes us back in time to the 1960s and into the dark mind of a charismatic serial killer. Set against the idyllic backdrop of Cape Cod, Helltown is a riveting, often spine-tingling true crime story. -- Terence Winter, Executive Producer of The Sopranos, creator of Boardwalk Empire Searing and important, Helltown is an immaculately researched and rivetingly propulsive chronicle illustrating a pivotal part of our history. Brilliantly weaving together true crime, a grotesque criminal, the political landscape, and the brilliant minds who wrote about it--Casey Sherman is a master at bringing history alive. Compelling, complex, and revealing--do not miss this! -- Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of Her Perfect Life With Helltown, Casey Sherman delivers the kind of true crime that keeps eyes glued to the pages--smart, impeccably researched, and utterly absorbing. Destined to be on all the year-end best nonfiction lists, this is an unqualified triumph by a writer at the top of his game! -- Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If You Tell
