The man holding her hostage was Shawn Grate, a serial killer whom the press later dubbed “The Ladykiller.” A key to his conviction and death sentence were Grate’s extensive recorded confessions—all extracted by one woman: Detective Kim Mager.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As an experienced specialist in sex offenses, Detective Mager was one of the officers assigned to Grate’s case upon his arrest. Grate immediately latched onto her, repeatedly demanding to speak to her and presumably convinced that he could somehow exercise his power over her in much the same way that he’d overpowered and controlled his female victims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He was wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Over a period of eight days, Mager conducted one interview after another, risking her life by sitting alone in the interview room with a malevolent predator. Using brilliant psychological strategy in a lethal game of wits, Mager successfully elicited his damning confessions to five murders, kidnapping, and multiple sexual assaults of women across Ohio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Deeply personal and shocking, \u003ci\u003eA Hunger to Kill \u003c\/i\u003etakes listeners behind the scenes of one of the most appalling criminal cases in American history from the woman who stopped his murderous rampage in collaboration with \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author Lisa Pulitzer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349982486832,"sku":"BDhx0o","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/552123-hx0o-Square.jpg?v=1734273546","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hx0o","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
