REVISED EDITION. 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.

For at least the last century, Jacksonville has stood out nationally for its murder rates. "Florida's Murder Capital," headlines call it. The eight stories in Tim Gilmore's 20th book tell of Cuban Revolutionaries, of little known serial killers and a phony serial killer, of a man who courted and murdered mother-daughter pairs, of lynchings and Southern good-ole-boy corruption, of "Satanic Panic," of a white supremacist killer with a black male lover. These stories each stand on their own, even as they interrogate the long violent history of Florida, the Deep South, and the city where those two entities intersect.
