Description
For four years a killer, or killers, stalked Virginia’s Tidewater region, carefully selecting victims, sending waves of terror into the local community
The Colonial Parkway Murders –the name given eight murders that took place in the Tidewater region in the late 1980’s, two of which were on the historic Colonial Parkway, the nation’s narrowest National Park. Young people in the prime of their lives were the targets. But the pattern that stitched this special kind of evil together was more like a spider web of theory, intrigue, and mathematics. Then, mysteriously, the killing spree stopped. The nameless predator, or predators, who stalked the Colonial Parkway stepped back into the mists of time and disappeared.
Now, father-daughter true crime authors Blaine Pardoe and Victoria Hester blow the dust off of these cases. Interviewing members of the families, friends, and members of law enforcement, they provide the first and most complete in-depth look at this string of horrific murders and disappearances. The author-investigators peel back the rumors and myths surrounding these crimes and provide new information never before revealed about the investigations.
Advance Praise
"Who gets away with murder? Not just one or two, but eight? True crime writers Blaine Pardoe and Victoria Hester want to know, and with A Special Kind of Evil, delve into what has become known as Virginia's Colonial Parkway killings. Dating back to the late 1980s, these horrific and unsolved crimes make for chilling, yet compelling reading. Pardoe and Hester deliver their detailed accounts of the crimes and the subsequent investigations through interviews with family, friends, and investigators. Their somewhat folksy and conversational style is disarming, and at times one forgets the shockingly brutal nature of the crimes. As quickly as these crimes surfaced, they ended. And like the authors, one is left anxiously asking questions and seeking definitive answers. An impressive work by this writing duo." - Peter Eichstaedt, award-winning author of BORDERLAND
