Trespasses: Portrait of a Serial Rapist
by Howard Swindle
On This Page
Description
For five years, respected Dallas businessman Gilbert Escobedo disguised himself with a ski mask and may have raped as many as one hundred women. Now Howard Swindle, an award-winning Dallas Morning News editor, offers a taut and sensitive account of Escobedo's crimes and the police investigation that led to his arrest. Candid and heartwrenching insights from many of Escobedo's victims reinforce this compelling portrait of a "power rapist", an account that uncovers the real faces behind the show more act and the aftermath of this most heinous of crimes.Written with the same fast-paced narrative that brought wide acclaim to Deliberate Indifference, Trespasses is illuminated by the latest research on sex crimes as well as two years of conversations with Escobedo in a maximum-security prison. The result is a searing investigation that transcends stereotypes and statistics to reveal the real faces and fears behind the more than 100,000 yearly such assaults in this country. show lessTags
