Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer who had raped and mutilated six women, murdering three of them. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early rapes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued?

Burrough is widely admired as a master storyteller, and this chilling tale raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

This title contains mature themes, including physical and sexual violence, that some listeners may find unsettling.

About the Performer

Steve White has spent most of his life behind a microphone. As a kid, he realized the power of the spoken word, hanging out with his dad while the pair talked to people around the world via ham radio. Later, Steve put that penchant for communication into practice and ventured into radio and TV. He worked as a journalist for television stations in North Carolina before transitioning to voiceover in 2015. He quickly discovered a love for storytelling and narrating audiobooks. Since then, Steve has produced more than 50 audiobooks in a variety of genres. Whether exploring 1940s Florida behind the eyes of a precocious 6-year-old in Judith Richards’ award-winning Summer Lightning, discovering the origins of baseball on the front lines of the Civil War in Jeff McArthur’s The American Game, or exploring the murkiness of the human psyche in true crime stories such as Ryan Green’s You Think You Know Me, Steve loves delving into a range of characters. He lives in North Carolina with his wife and two sons.

This selection caught my eye because we moved to Temple, Texas nearly eight years ago. As a former police reporter, I'm generally in tune with major historic or recent crime stories -- especially those which have happened near our residence -- but I had never heard of Daniel Corwin. When I read the description, I asked myself, "Is this real or did Bryan Burrough choose Temple as the location for a fictional crime story?" A quick Google search showed me that this was a real, so I listened.

I commute for my job, so I listened during a few trips to and from my workplace. I was intrigued because I was able to "follow" the initial crimes -- knowing well the streets, neighborhoods and the subdivisions referenced. When I drove near one of the buildings mentioned, I realized that one of the attacks happened near there. When I passed a certain subdivision, I realized another attack happened on those tree-lined streets. I know many community minded people, who must've heard about these attacks and the outcomes, and I kept thinking, "I need to ask her about this."

I enjoyed the brevity of the story, feeling that Burrough packed a lot of information into a relatively small space for Audible. It was pure investigative journalism and it was done well, like a long-form piece you'd find in Texas Monthly -- or Burrough's Vanity Fair. In 3-4 hours, I learned an amazing amount of information about this case, and I was treated to a history lesson about the region.

The narrator did very well with the story and, through him, I felt I learned what a listener needs to know about the key figures and their personalities. Many thanks to Bryan Burrough for his reporting.

NOTE: I'd be remiss not to share that my wife and I have found Central Texas, specifically the Temple/Belton area, to be a wonderful place to raise a family.

Well-written account of a madman and his terrible deeds. I especially respect the author's insight into how people can sometimes close their eyes to the truth, hoping the monster next door is not so bad after all.

I enjoyed listening

History repeats itself, if it’s warnings are not heeded. I highly recommend this graphic and horrific accounting be listened to by every “christian,” especially those who are in leadership roles.

Recommend to Christians

A bit short on details and bare bones in terms of research, but entertaining. Good for quick drive to and from work.

This reader was way too upbeat and positive in his reading tone given the subject matter of the story. Complete mismatch. Took away from the story.

Reading tone doesn’t match topic

I don't write long reviews, so let's just say... this is the first Audible I literally sat down and ignored everything I was supposed to be doing until it was over.

Beautiful, Fantastic!

It was an interesting story, well told and the narrator was easy to listen to. No, he didn’t have a “scary” voice, but he had a great tone to his voice and the book wasn’t written in a scary way anyway.

Don’t let the negative reviews deter you
