AlbakiReads Editorial

A true-crime account set in Anchorage

Anchorage in 1981 provides the setting for this account of the crimes associated with serial killer Robert Hansen. The description places the story amid a rise in missing-person reports and the uncertainty surrounding investigations with little substantive evidence. It also notes that author Robert Algeri served in Alaska during Hansen’s most active murder years and interacted with him in several situations. The book’s subject matter centers on abductions, missing women, and murder, with the city’s law-enforcement response forming part of the context.
