I am reading "Son," By Jack Olsen. It is an older book that has been reissued.

It is about Fred Coe, who committed many rapes in Spokane in the seventies, and probably earlier. It is about a psychopath and his victims. His victims were not only those raped. They included the people who loved him and wanted to help him. It is mind-boggling how many people were convinced that he was innocent and misunderstood. He could twist people's minds.

Sound like anyone we know?
