They Killed For Thrills. . .

It began with a shoplifting arrest. It led to a search of a remote California hamlet called Wilseyville that yielded six bodies, 45 pounds of burned bone fragments, and a child's liver. Then, horror-struck investigators made the most chilling discovery of all: the videotape that showed what Charles Ng and Leonard Lake did to their handcuffed female victims before snuffing them out.

Here is the terrifying story of one of the most notorious serial killer teams in American history—a pair of maniacs whose orgy of sex crimes, torture, and murder took the lives of at least sixteen victims. From Charles Ng's strange Hong Kong childhood to his twisted friendship with co-conspirator Leonard Lake, Die For Me is the graphic portrait of two monsters who walked among us—Lake, who took his own life, and Ng, who will die by lethal injection.

Includes 16 Pages Of Shocking Photos!

A chilling chapter in California crime history: the story of two notorious serial killers and the sensational trial that horrified the nation. In 1985, two men were caught shoplifting in San Francisco. Charles Ng escaped, but Leonard Lake aroused suspicionhe was carrying someone else's driver's license. Four days after police took him into custody, Lake killed himself by swallowing a cyanide pill he had hidden in his clothes. Ng, meanwhile, had fled to Canada. Police traced the car Lake was driving to a man who had disappeared a year earlier. They then followed a trail of evidence to a remote property in the Sierra Nevada foothills. What they found there shocked even seasoned veterans of the force. Inspired by John Fowles's novel The Collector, Lake and Ng had turned a hidden concrete bunker into a grisly den, where the two had indulged in an orgy of sex crimes, torture, and murder that claimed at least sixteen victims. Police found forty pounds of bones from men, women, and children buried in a nearby plotand videotapes the killers had made of their unspeakable acts. In Die for Me, true crime master Don Lasseter recounts the events surrounding their sensational crimes and capture, bringing readers face-to-face with pure evil.
