Nightmare in Wichita: The Hunt for the BTK Strangler

This true crime book was completed in 2004 months before the killer was caught. After Dennis Rader was charged there was a quick edit, an added epilogue, and Nightmare was published a week later in March 2005. It immediately became a bestseller. BTK Killer Dennis Rader, who murdered ten people and taunted and terrorized the Wichita community for 31-years, was sentenced to 175-years in prison. This book served as the basis for the made-for-television movie The Hunt for the BTK Killer and the story inspired dozens of film, television, and print reports and fictionalizations.
