Bound to Die

Bound to Die is the true crime story of Florida serial killer Bobby Joe Long. In 1984 Long was convicted of the heinous murders of nine women in Florida's Tampa Bay area. The first body of 19 year old disco dancer Lana Long was found in a field on Mother's Day. Six months later, the bloody rampage ended when the ninth victim was discovered. All had been tortured with rapes and savagely beaten and raped. The killer's confession of his crimes is haunting. The vividly rendered results of his historical trials and appeals are equally shocking. This well written book is an accurate chronicling of an infamous part of Florida history, brought up to date in this Revised Edition. Three recent television documentaries with the author s participation have been produced on this case and can be seen on Investigation Discovery and other television channels.
