Publisher's Summary

They thought about their evil fantasy for months. Then wound up like clockwork toys...they acted.

In April 1997, pretty, 22-year-old Jacine Gielinski stopped her car at a red light in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She had no idea that the two young men looking at her from the car next to hers would in that moment decide she would be their target for unspeakable horrors.

George Woldt and Lucas Salmon were an unlikely pair of best friends, much less killers. Woldt was a fast-talking, well-dressed ladies man who boasted of his sexual conquests. Salmon was deeply religious, and socially misfit, obsessed with losing his virginity.

Woldt was the leader, Salmon his willing follower, but neither had been in serious trouble with the law. However, inspired by the cult movie A Clockwork Orange, with its dystopian violence, they fantasized for months what it would be like to abduct, rape, torture, and murder a woman. Then, aroused by watching ultra-violent pornography, they decided to act upon their evil thoughts.

Revised and updated with a new afterword from the author, A Clockwork Murder recounts the steps that led to an unthinkable crime and its impact on a community, as well as the friends and especially the parents of an innocent young woman who paid with her life for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Eye opening

An insight into how our justice system does side with the defendant over the one they killed and how the family of both become victims as well. The start of the book was repetitive but by the middle it had a forward flow. I had not known of this case and was saddened by the process to get justice and not sure it was achieved.

Another great Jackson true crime

Good story. Not quiet as absorbable as some of the other books but still quite fascinating. These true crime stories make you shake your head, shudder and wonder how humans can do this to each other. Once again Jackson gives good details and keeps the reader interested without getting to wordy or boring.

Dry story

Struggled to finish it. Boring after you hit a certain part. Not for me.
