As a young man, Randall Woodfield had it all--a star athlete, good looks, and an award-winning student. Working in the swinging West Coast bar scene, he had more than his share of women. But he wanted more than just sex. An appetite for unspeakable violent acts led him to cruise the I-5 highway through California to Washington, leaving a trail of victims along the way. As the list of the dead grew, the police mobilized to stop a twisted killer who had 44 known deaths to his name.

Holy cow, what a wild ride. I have no idea how I didn't know about Randall Woodfield and Diane Downs being penpals.
This book suffers from being so old that there have been a number of updates that aren't included. Aside from that, it's well done.
Seriously consider whether you are comfortable hearing graphic descriptions of rape of women and children before reading. It's horrific and disgusting.
