Meeting in 1971 at a Seattle crisis clinic, Ann Rule and Ted Bundy developed a friendship and correspondence that would span the rest of his life. Rule had no idea that when they went their separate ways, their paths would cross again under shocking circumstances.
The Stranger Beside Me is Rule's compelling firsthand account of not just her relationship with Bundy, but also his life—from his complicated childhood to the media circus of his trials. Astonishing in its intimacy and with Rule's clear-eyed prose, you can't help but share in her growing horror at discovering that her friend was one of the most notorious American serial killers.
An unforgettable and haunting work of research, journalism, and personal memories, The Stranger Beside Me is "as dramatic and chilling as a bedroom window shattering at midnight" (The New York Times).

This generation's most violent sociopath, murderer, and mutilator of women, Ted Bundy, is the subject of this true-crime exposé. Ann Rule tells all, from the time she met and worked with Ted Bundy to the moment of his death by electrocution in Florida. The investigative crime writer objectively relates the story of Bundy, his murder sprees, and how the police caught him. Lorelei King narrates this tale of murder and its detail-filled investigation in clear, concise words. She deftly shifts genders, while remaining firmly in control of the story line and the horror. The story unfolds chronologically--as Rule learns of events from newspapers and police. Never once does she jump ahead of the story. King excels as she maintains Rule's distance as an investigative writer, emphasizing the facts, without ever getting caught up in the terror of it all. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
