He became a small-time burglar and an accomplished liar--a wisecracking \"smoothy\" who pretended to be an undercover detective. George made lots of friends, especially within a subculture of giggly young white women who partied endlessly in upscale Seattle clubs during 1989-90. And he murdered three of them, bizarrely mutilating and \"staging\" their bodies. The drinks, dancing, and deejays--the group pad where George lived with an adoring coterie of feckless college kids--Olsen gives us the quirky details that make the murderer's well-hidden rage and misogyny all the more shocking. As the New York Times wrote, \"Like fine cinema verité, [Charmer] mesmerizes us with the sense of watching real life, unaugmented, move before our eyes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45511593525399,"sku":"9781091400757","price":1539.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781091400757.webp?v=1767926051","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/charmer-a-ladies-man-and-his-victims-9781091400757","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
