1987011588London: Grafton 1987 In 1974 a young bride named Arlis Perry was brutally murdered in the Stanford University church. It appeared to be a ritualistic killing with few clues left behind and the police closed the case deciding the murder had been committed by yet another California crazy Years later on the East Coast a book about satanism was smuggled from the confines of a maximum security prison. The words "Arlis Perry. Hunted Stalked and Slain. Followed to California" were scrawled in the margin of one of its pages by none other than confessed Son of Samkiller David Berkowitz. At the close of the Son of Sam case investigative reporter Maury Terry became fascinated with it and began his own private inquiries. He tracked down every detail interviewing witnesses and studying the satanic anagrams in the killers letters until he became convinced that Berkowitz had not acted alone. Now in this stunning and frightening work Terry reveals for the first time how a satanic network appears to have been behind not only the Son of Sam killings but also the murder of Arlis Perry the Charles Manson slayings and several other bizarre and grisly incidents which have occurred since the early 1970s. An extraordinary exposproving that there is indeed a satanic cult active today The Ultimate Evil is a persuasive and alarming probe into this little-known but awesomely deadly group. excellent copy in unclipped DW small splits to bottom corners of DW at the folds xiii 512pp plates heavy book may incur higher postage charges .
