ICM Publishing Group Releases the New Book "I've Been Watching You -- The South Louisiana Serial Killer"

BATON ROUGE, LA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/15/06 -- In this first comprehensive true crime book to be published about the South Louisiana Serial Killer, Susan D. Mustafa and Special Prosecutor Tony Clayton, along with Sue Israel, combine their talents to depict the life and crimes of Derrick Todd Lee. "I've Been Watching You -- The South Louisiana Serial Killer" dramatically tells the story of Lee's life and follows the timeline of his reign of terror over South Louisiana. Readers become intimately acquainted with the seven victims who have been linked to Lee by DNA, along with the frustrated investigators who could not catch this diabolical killer. This recounting details the murders of ten other women who were not connected by DNA but whom these authors believe should be included on the list of Lee's victims due to strong circumstantial evidence. This book also contains never before published facts about the cases and outlines how Lee could have been caught in 1998 and how all of the murders from that point forward could have been prevented.

There are many unanswered questions regarding these series of killings. How did Lee find his victims, and why did he choose them? Why didn't the Multi-Agency Homicide Task Force believe Lee was the killer when his name was brought repeatedly to its attention? What evil possessed him to rape and murder so many women? "I've Been Watching You" vividly paints the portrait of this monster, from his childhood to Death Row, and the beautiful women who died as a result of his twisted compulsion to kill. The book is currently available online at www.barnesandnoble.com, www.amazon.com, and www.authorhouse.com. It is also available in bookstores in Louisiana. Barnes and Noble at CitiPlace in Baton Rouge will be hosting a discussion and book signing March 4 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM.
