Unable to speak because her windpipe had been severed, she walked to the nearest house and asked for a notepad. What she wrote in the next few minutes ended a twenty-one-year murder campaign, and began the most extraordinary accounting in modern American criminal history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCoast to Coast\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive narrative account of Tommy Lynn Sells, the transient serial killer who moved through the United States by freight train and carnival circuit for two decades, killing across more than a dozen states while two wrongly convicted people sat in prison for his crimes. Drawing on court records, psychiatric evaluations, forensic case files, and the developmental science of trauma and violence, Finbarr Moore reconstructs not only what Sells did but how he was made, and, crucially, how a nation's fractured systems of child protection, mental health care, and interstate law enforcement failed, at every turn, to stop him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a book about killers and victims and survivors and the wrongly imprisoned. But above all, it is a book about the children, the ones who died, and the one who lived to tell us everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Finbarr Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798235423459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silverback Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Finbarr Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997860704511,"sku":"9798235423459","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/coast-to-coast-finbarr-moore-9798235423459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
