Learn moreJohn Wayne Gacy raped, tortured, and murdered 33 boys and young men, burying most of them in the crawlspace under his Chicago home. Karen Conti was in high school at the time watching the bodies being removed on the television news. Fourteen years pass. Through a twist of fate, Conti, now a young and inexperienced attorney, is called upon to handle Gacy’s final death row appeals. The serial killer soon becomes her most famous, difficult, and haunting client. Thirty years after Gacy’s execution, Conti looks back through the eyes of a seasoned professional on the legal and media circus that ensued—and her countless hours of detailed conversation with the killer clown. We hear for the first time about Gacy’s gruesome “Body Book.” Were there more victims? Conspirators involved in the murders? What secrets were buried with him? If one were to ask Conti “How could you represent such a monster?,” she would respond “What you really want to know is, ‘What was he like?’” This book answers that question.
Karen Conti is one of Chicago’s most prominent lawyers and legal analysts. As an aggressive and driven litigator and trial lawyer with over thirty years of experience, she has handled numerous high-profile and noteworthy cases across the country, including a U.S. Supreme Court appeal and several well-known Chicago-area criminal cases, such as the death-row appeals for serial killer John Wayne Gacy. She has produced and hosted award-winning radio shows, including Legally Speaking and The Karen Conti Show.
