Lethal
Intent by Sue Russell That
rarest of serial killers - a woman - Aileen 'Lee' Wuornos always
craved fame. Long before she was hunted and caught by Florida
law enforcement, long before she confessed to killing seven men,
she told friends that she wanted to do something "no woman
has ever done before" and to have a book about her life. Lethal
Intent reveals Aileen's devastating double abandonment by her
mother before she was age two, the crimes of her father, and the
myriad events that helped set her path of destruction. It even
contests the widespread superficial judgment of Wuornos as a "man-hating
lesbian" via new insights from men with whom she shared sexual
and romantic relationships. Lethal Intent also explores the dynamics
of her fateful relationship with Tyria Moore, the lesbian lover
who knew Aileen was killing yet stayed by her side, and how those
dynamics moved Aileen closer to a life of murder. Packed
with exclusive material that sheds a different light on this cold-blooded
serial killer, Lethal Intent contains new insights and intimate
memories from her family, friends and childhood peers. (Peers
who lost their virginities to Aileen, who began prostituting herself
at a horribly early age.)
