A disturbing story of a devious serial killer: despite his low IQ, David James Torgerson continually outwitted the mental health and justice system with tragic consequences for his eleven known victims.Set in the 1960's and 70's, this true crime novel begins with evocative coming-of-age stories that occurred in the author's life after being viciously attacked at the age of ten by a stranger to her. What was Taken then catapults readers into Torgerson's twisted and tragic murders including those of his wife, children and teen-age babysitter. Killing those close to him was his fatal mistake.
