Not Comin' Home to You — Lawrence Block

A gripping account of the actual murders that inspired the highly acclaimed film, Badlands.
He is Jimmie John Hall, “free and white and twenty-two”. Her name is Betty Dienhardt, plain, friendless, and oppressed by a bleak home life. In each other they find a chance for love and fulfillment. But they are doomed. For Jimmie John had already embarked on a killing spree on the backroads of the Southwest that will leave fourteen innocent people dead.
