After committing his first grisly crime, Harvey Louis Carignan beat a death sentence and continued to manipulate, rape, and bludgeon women to death, using want ads to lure his young female victims. And time after time, justice was thwarted by a killer whose twisted legal genius was matched only by his sick savagery.

Here, complete with the testimony of women who suffered his unspeakable sexual abuses and barely escaped with their lives, and of the police who at last put him behind bars, is one of the most shattering and thought-provoking true-crime stories of our time.

The Want-Ad Killer is one of the most shattering and thought-provoking true-crime stories of our time.

A readers comment – “I was surprised at how much compassion was shown for the women whose lives were affected, ruined, and/or ended by the killer in question; I had expected their parts of the story to be used more salaciously in order to rile the reader and to paint a picture of horror and while, yes, that happened, I also felt Rule wanted to give a voice to and honor these women.”

“This monster (age of 94 now) is still healthy, strong, and feared. He has a parole hearing coming up in 2022 (at which he will be 95 yrs old).”

This is one of 3 books written in 1983-84 under the name of Andy Stack: The Lust Killer, The I-15 Killer, The Want-Ad Killer.
