Saint Bloodbath by Frederick Douglass Reynolds is a chilling true crime story. The bodies are piling up; five are found in a camp for the homeless, and a teenager is found in the desert, executed in cold blood. At first, they are treated as unconnected, but the police soon find commonalities between them. Did the same man commit all the murders? The detectives, McGuire, Cortez, and Rodriguez, work tirelessly to find the perpetrator and bring justice to their families, friends, and communities. This book spills the details of this case, following in the detectives’ footsteps in their quest to solve these mindless killings.
Saint Bloodbath by Frederick Douglass Reynolds tells a bloody, violent story of drugs, murder, and gangs that truly is not for the faint-hearted. It is incredibly descriptive, leaving nothing to the imagination, but sadly, real-life murders are like that. It reads like a fictional story, but it most assuredly is not, and it is an eye-opener, following the detectives as they go about their work in their search for justice. One point that should be mentioned is that this is not for the easily offended, given that it contains racial slurs and derogatory comments. However, this is not out of character for the story and is entirely accurate for the setting and time the crimes occurred. This interesting, if gruesome, read offers a decent insight into how the police do their jobs and some of the sights and situations they have to deal with daily. It is well put together by someone who knew the detectives who worked the case and recommended to those who like true crime stories.
