About this eBook
Convicted killers don’t often ring their local newspapers from behind bars. Hard-nosed Canadian crime reporter Ben Ludlow took one such phone call which plunged his life into the blood-thirsty world of multiple murders. Soon other killers called him from behind bars. Before long he had a murderers’ hot line going. Who was out there sparking these scary killers to call him? They themselves were evil monsters. They had each been convicted of bludgeoning or stabbing or strangling innocent women to death. Who could be worse than them? Ludlow discovered a mysterious mastermind was feeding him inside information on all these crimes - and other slayings, too. He was now on top of the greatest murder scoop of his career. Then, just when he was about to expose all he knew, shattering events overtook him in a blur of action. He was accused of being a killer himself. Cops turned on him. As his life spun out of control more shocks, out of his control, crowded in on him...
