The Demon Next Door

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, The Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he grew up, harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer, who raped and mutilated six women, killing three. Yet the town denied all early signs of the radical evil growing within Corwin. What led the local media to ignore his early crimes? Why did the local Presbyterian Church try to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve his murders? 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. ©2019 Bryan Burrough (P)2019 Audible Originals, LLC.
