Dig Me a Grave (inbunden, eng)

Of the hundreds of murder cases that noted South Carolina attorney Dick Harpootlian has prosecuted, one in particular haunts him. Donald ''Pee Wee'' Gaskins was a serial killer and rapist, a master manipulator who claimed to have killed over 100 people and is known to have murdered over a dozen, including a toddler, and his own teenage niece.

Yet it was on Death Row that he pulled off his most audacious murder - killing another inmate with a military grade explosive. As personable as he was ruthless, Pee Wee defied easy categories. He killed to avenge minor slights as well as for pleasure, using any convenient method - including stabbing, shooting, poison, suffocation, and drowning.

Evidence suggested he forced at least one victim to dig his own grave, stand in it, and be shot. With escalating callousness, Pee Wee murdered acquaintances, friends, family members, and strangers. Yet within his North Charleston community he was well-liked - a family man who took neighbourhood kids to the beach and hosted cookouts.

Ice-cold within but outwardly charming, he joked with judges, reporters, and Harpootlian himself, but didn''t hesitate to hatch a plot to kidnap the prosecutor''s daughter in order to extort an escape. Dig Me a Grave is a haunting look at a prolific, remorseless killer, as well as a provocative exploration of justice and the death penalty.
