Summary:
Michael
Ross
was a serial killer who raped and murdered eight young women between 1981 and 1984, and several years ago the state of Connecticut put him to death. His crimes were horrific, and he paid the ultimate price for them. When journalist Martha Elliott first heard of
Ross
, she learned what the world knew of him-- that he had been a master at hiding in plain sight. Elliott, a staunch critic of the death penalty, was drawn to the case when the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned
Ross
's six death sentences. Rather than fight for his life,
Ross
requested that he be executed because he didn't want the families of his victims to suffer through a new trial. Elliott was intrigued and sought an interview. The two began a weekly conversation--that developed into an odd form of friendship--that lasted over a decade, until
Ross
's last moments on earth. Over the course of his twenty years in prison,
Ross
had come to embrace faith for the first time in his life. He had also undergone extensive medical treatment. The
Michael
Ross
whom Elliott knew seemed to be a different man from the monster who was capable of such heinous crimes. This
Michael
Ross
made it his mission to share his story with Elliott in the hopes that it would save lives. He was her partner in unlocking the mystery of his own evil.
