Terri Jentz, the author, was on a cross-country bike trip, with her Yale roommate, in 1977, when the unspeakable happened: while camping in a tent, in the Oregon desert, a man drove a pick up over their tent and attacked them with an ax. No one was ever charged with this horrific crime. Fifteen years later, Jentz returns to the small town where the event happened and starts doing some sleuthing herself. She makes some incredible discoveries. This is a solid true-crime tale. It could have used a little more editing but that is a minor quibble. Worked well on audio too.… (mais)

Op een kampeerplek in Oregon slaat het noodlot toe: een psychopaat rijdt met zijn auto over hun tent heen en valt de vrouwen vervolgens met een bijl aan. Ze overleven de aanslag ternauwernood. De dader wordt nooit gepakt.

Vijftien jaar later bezoekt Terri opnieuw de bewuste plek. Met hulp van de plaatselijke bevolking probeert ze te achterhalen wie de gestoorde man was. De antwoorden die ze in Oregon vindt helpen haar af te rekenen met het trauma dat haar leven al vijftien jaar lang beheerst.… (mais)
