The case that inspired The Frozen Ground starring Nicholas Cage and John Cusack . . . "As 'true' stories go, the writers and directors did an excellent job.... However, you don't see the back story.... On that note, I strongly suggest reading Fair Game by Bernard DuClos whose research for his book was astonishingly rich and thorough. (IMDb dixie dragon, imdb.com/user/ur35449188/)
CAVEAT! *** Avoid recently published thin regurgitations (maybe A.I. generated?) of the Bad Bob Hansen case, or "half-baked" research presented in clumsy prose in some earlier editions. Don't settle for anything less than "The Definitive Account of the Robert Hansen Case" that FAIR GAME delivers! (St. Martins Press 1st Edition was published February 1993) ***and
NOTE: *** And don't be a suckered by those 100s of so-called good "reviews" stars . Most are created by the "publishers" that put their e-book online price down to the lowest no royalty level for a day or two, and then with a "verified purchase" deliver a b.s. "customer review". These publishers have little respect for Hansen's victims or their families, other principals in the case, the real story, or you the reader. To them, it's all about making a fast buck!

***This FAIR GAME edition includes an "Afterword"***
Truth be told, Robert Hansen never butchered anyone. He did own a popular Anchorage bakery where he rolled doughnuts and decorated cakes. But yes, "Bad Bob Hansen" did go on a rampage assaulting and murdering dozens of women from 1971 to 1983. With an Anchorage police officer risking his career and FBI profiling assistance, Alaska State Troopers finally brought Hansen to justice.
First published by St. Martin's Press and a Doubleday True Crime Book Club Selection in 1993, FAIR GAME details Robert Hansen's 12-year tableau of violence that ended with his arrest and chilling confession. Importantly, FAIR GAME exposes the tortious judiciary bungles that enabled Robert Hansen's aberrant hunt, and how the Anchorage District Attorney's Office used a brief sentencing hearing to avoid putting Hansen on public trial, which would have revealed its blatant judicial neglects!
And FAIR GAME folds in compelling stories of Hansen's victims, their families and survivors, many of whom were denied justice by the Anchorage DA's egregious cover-up!
To repeat ...***Avoid thin regurgitations (maybe A.I. generated?) of the Bad Bob Hansen case, or "half-baked" research presented in clumsy prose! Don't settle for anything less than "The Definitive Account of the Robert Hansen Case" that FAIR GAME delivers!***Author Biography
