Diane Fanning created an excellent account of the crimes of serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells in Through the Window.
Texas Rangers Sketch of Suspect That Would Lead To Sells' Arrest
Sells killed indiscriminately as he crisscrossed the country; from men to women, from teenagers to newborns, there was no one who was safe from falling victim to Sells and his need to kill.
Be forewarned this book can, at times, be difficult to read even for the most jaded true crime reader. While at times his kill was quick and without much thought, other times his bloodlust led him to do the unthinkable; but unfortunately, only Sells was able to not only thought of it but committed it.
In the latter part of the book, the rush of reading the details of his crimes became calmer as it recounts the one and only trial of Sells. While this particular section may be somewhat tedious, it does lead into an interesting area of why Sells was not ever charged nor tried for many others crimes to which he confessed.
Through the Window is definite a must read!
