On The Farm: Robert William Pickton and the Tragic Story of Vancouver's Missing Women
It's about a serial killer who preyed on drug-addicted prostitutes in the downtown east side of Vancouver in the mid '90's to the early '00's. He actually almost got convicted for attempted murder on a victim in '97, but when the prostitute failed to appear in court for fear of meeting Willie again, the case was dropped and he walked. Despite all the evidence that had accumulated over the years, it took a long time for the VPD and RCMP to finally search his pig farm and start looking for the bodies of about 40 prostitutes.
Reading this book is kind of like watching an episode of
The Wire because of the internal politics of a dysfunctional institution, in fact there are a lot of parallels between the show and the real life events. The begrudging start of the investigation into the missing women by the VPD and the quickly assembled detail of people who didn't care to work the case. It strongly resembled the way season 1 started.
Anyways it's a great book if you're into true crime.
