Description:

Drifter Henry Lee Lucas broke into the national headlines in the summer of 1983 when he claimed to have murdered more than 100 women across the country.

Languishing in a Texas county jail, he continued confessing to more and more homicides. Law enforcement, prosecutors and the news media all struggled with a fundamental question: Was Lucas a serial killer, a serial liar, or some of both?

Previously published in 1991 as The Confessions of Henry Lee Lucas.
