* Finalist for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Fact Crime Book * Deliberate Indifference was awarded the Texas Institute of Letters Award for Best Nonfiction Book of 1993. For five years, respected Dallas businessman Gilbert Escobedo disguised himself with a ski mask and may have raped as many as one hundred women. Now Howard Swindle, an award-winning Dallas Morning News editor, offers a taut and sensitive account of Escobedo's crimes and the police investigation that led to his arrest. Candid and heartwrenching insights from many of Escobedo's victims reinforce this compelling portrait of a power rapist, an account that uncovers the real faces behind the act and the aftermath of this most heinous of crimes. Written with the same fast-paced narrative that brought wide acclaim to Deliberate Indifference, Trespasses is illuminated by the latest research on sex crimes as well as two years of conversations with Escobedo in a Mexico and the United States, all of which develop the themes of the title essay and extend his penetrating commentary to the United States and Latin America.
