A press release on 13 1/2 Twelve Jurors One Judge and a Half Assed Chance.
Tori Rivers' new book, 13 1/2: Twelve Jurors, One Judge and a Half Ass Chance is the result of four years of interviews and visits with the infamous "Coast to Coast Killer," Tommy Lynn Sells. In this book, Sells describes his crimes in his own words and goes into great detail about his traumatic and painful childhood. Two sides of Sells emerge: the bad man who committed countless murders and the helpless child who grew to be a monster.
"As an author I struggled with writing this book," says Rivers. "Visiting and communicating with Tommy became an emotional roller coaster for me, but in the end I decided that this story deserved to be told."
Rivers' hard work has resulted in a one-of-a-kind tale from the mind of a madman. Readers can learn how serial killers like Tommy stalk their prey, and how a normal child can grow into a murderous spree killer.
This book has mass appeal because:
It is a narrative directly from the mind of a serial killer.
Rivers' expert interviewing of Sells resulted in new information emerging about his crimes.
Readers can learn how to spot the signs of child abuse.
Readers can learn how to protect themselves against predators like Sells.
Rivers' book is a timely journey into the mind of a killer that will appeal to a society that is obsessed with crime and the darker side of life. This one-of-a-kind narrative has academic merit, entertainment value and social value as well.
