Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy

Between 1972 and 1978, thirty-three young men were kidnapped, murdered, and hidden in a crawl space beneath their killer’s home—and no one suspected a thing. Why? He was charming, funny, held a respectable All-American job, and was a community leader. He even entertained sick children dressed as a clown. Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy delves into the dark layers of Gacy’s life, sharing the heartbreaking stories of his mostly gay victims, exploring the grief, guilt, and trauma endured by their loved ones, and revealing the systemic failures, missed chances, and societal prejudices that allowed his reign of terror to persist.
