Cries in the Desert relives the story of David Parker Ray and how he viciously tortured many women in his "toy box" dubbed torture chamber. The story is gruesome, and sick. Some readers will be truely shocked and disturbed. John Glatt wrote it well, but some details could have been left out in order to put in more information that would have made the read engrossing. I feel that the author put in too many detials that didn't fit the story, but it did work. I would highly recommend the book to fans of true crime!
John Glatt does an excellent job of providing a detailed account of the crimes of David Parker Ray and his wife, Cindy Hendy. Readers are also given an account of the crimes of Ray's daughter, Jesse Ray, and her friend Roy Yancy. However, the book focuses mainly on David Ray. This is tale of a sexual sadist and his urges to torture and rape women. Although never charged with murder, it is highly speculated there were many women he killed. This is an excellent book about deviant man. True crime fans will love it!
I received a completely different book than what I originally ordered. Although I did download Cries In The Desert" on my Nook.

Ordered this book for review for a CJ class presentation. Specifics were given about the criminal events as they took place, which made the story line clear to follow. I rate this book excellent in writing presentation, as well as the true crime, which may be either directly/indirectly related to my past experience living in the southwest and knowing the area the crimes took place. Amazing facts were given about the characters. Never omitting information that is vital to the actual criminal events.
As a long-time avid reader of true-crime books, I was completely stunned by this horrific story that takes readers inside the mind of 59-year-old David Parker Ray, a serial sexual sadist who beats, rapes and tortures with various implements his female victims in a tiny trailer dubbed the "toy box" in an isolated small town in New Mexico. His fiance, 39-year-old, Cindy Hendy participated in these horrific crimes. A remarkably unforgettable account of absolutely sickening sexual sadism you will be unable to put down from the moment you pick it up, and which will haunt you long after you have finished the last page.
