St. Paul mystery writer John Camp wasn't thrilled to learn that a copy of the inside cover of his book, "Rules of Prey," was among the contents of a manila envelope that was sent to a Kansas TV station in February and has been linked to accused serial killer Dennis Rader.
Nor does he think Rader, who was charged Tuesday with 10 strangulation deaths that terrorized Wichita beginning in 1974, took any "inspiration" from the book, he said, pointing out that all but one of the Kansas killings took place before the publication of "Rules of Prey" in 1989.
It wouldn't surprise Camp, however, if the suspect in the "BTK" case (for "bind, torture, kill") had seen something of himself in the book's evildoer.

i guess his pen name is john sanford,
i think rules of prey was the first in that line, with all of the '... of prey' books i've read being really good.
sanford and patterson (along came a spider) are two of the best authors in that genre
/just sayin'
great writer. BTK was killing long before Sanford was writing mysteries.
you could probably even find his novels in some cave in
Afhganistan.(he's pretty well known.)
