Praise for The Grim Sleeper "This upsetting account of a Los Angeles serial killer, written with passion by Christine Pelisek, an investigative crime reporter who spent 10 years working the case, blurts out a hard truth that no one wants to acknowledge . . . [She] tries to restore dignity to some of the victims by drawing sympathetic and carefully detailed life histories for each and every one of them." --Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review "Painfully relevant . . . The heart of this book--which is indeed grim, but also necessary--is in its subtitle, 'The Lost Women of South Central' . . . At its best, The Grim Sleeper is an informal ethnography that describes how African American families came to Los Angeles from the South and Midwest, what they found there, what they didn't. It is a group portrait of families clawing their way into the middle class, only to often slip back into poverty, drugs and alcohol. Pelisek is masterful in teasing out the stories of Franklin's victims. For the first time, you will know their names, and their names will stay with you." -- Los Angeles Times "[A] gripping reconstruction of the lives of some of the many impoverished victims of the recently convicted serial slayer." -- New York Magazine "Pelisek takes readers through the investigation step-by-step, and she also delves into the details of the women's lives. The author paints each victim clearly, and she palpably captures the pain of the families left behind . . . True-crime fans will greatly appreciate Pelisek's detail and determination."--Kirkus "Through this fascinating read, Pelisek delves deeply into the connections between the war on drugs, the misguided search for The Southside Slayer, the Los Angeles Police Department's indifference, and the cultural disregard for sex workers . . . An engrossing read for those invested in true crime, but also a cautionary tale for law enforcement." --Bitch Media "A dark and disturbing story that reveals the failure of the police and the justice system in impoverished communities of color, The Grim Sleeper is a must-read for true crime fans who want to see how crime reporting can make a difference." -- Bustle "With insights into race and crime, universal grief and ultimate justice, The Grim Sleeper succeeds in being both disturbing and satisfying. The book's main focus is neither the murderer nor Pelisek's involvement. It's the victims." -- The Toronto Star, Praise for The Grim Sleeper Time , One of the Best True Crime Books of All Time "Christine Pelisek meticulously details the case of the L.A. serial killer called 'the Grim Sleeper' as only someone who reported on the case for 10 years could . . . Pelisek's book carefully details the lives of each victim and tells a broader story about homicide investigations in neighborhoods ridden with poverty and gang violence. The book reveals the hard truth that often victims found in high-crime areas are neglected by the police and the press--which is likely how a serial killer ran rampant for two decades." -- Time , One of the Best True Crime Books of All Time "This upsetting account of a Los Angeles serial killer, written with passion by Christine Pelisek, an investigative crime reporter who spent 10 years working the case, blurts out a hard truth that no one wants to acknowledge . . .
