Publisher Description
AUTHORITIES OPENED THE DOOR ON ONE MAN'S HIDDEN LIFE…
Mike DeBardeleben was known as the Mall Passer for the way he passed off fake money at local shopping centers. But when U.S. Secret Service agents finally arrested him, they were met with more than just phony bills. They found that their counterfeiter led a shocking double life…
ONLY TO DISCOVER A HOUSE OF HORRORS.
DeBardeleben's home was littered with drugs, bondage gear, and a collection of audio tapes in which he recorded the abuse of his countless victims. As the evidence mounted, a terrifying profile emerged of a man who forced women to be his accomplices, practiced sadism, even dressed up in women's clothes—a serial killer whose depraved fantasies led to a spree of violence that would last as long as eighteen years…and would end in a sentence of almost 400 years in prison. As terrifying as it is true, this is the story of a man who proved to be, beyond the shadow of a doubt, BEYOND CRUEL.
Customer Reviews
Interesting
Debardeleben's story is interesting for sure. As evil as any I've read about. The book however was difficult to follow. As do many non-fiction books, the author bounces back and forth in time and content throughout the story. I became confused and couldn't keep the chronology clear in my mind. Thus, I was made to scan back to multiple parts of the story to clearly understand what I was reading at that moment. In his defense, the author surely made his point regarding Mike's level of depravity. Lastly, I was disappointed at the frequency of clerical errors. The work is riddled with them. Very distracting. I would not recommend the book to another.
