- Summary
- Liza Rodman was a lonely little girl. During her Cape Cod summers, while her mother worked days in a local motel and danced most nights in the Provincetown bars, her babysitter -- the gentle, handsome handyman at the motel -- took her and her sister on adventures in his truck, sometimes to his "secret garden" in the Truro woods. He was one of the few kind, understanding adults in her life. But there was one thing she didn't know: the babysitter was a serial killer. Some of his victims were buried -- in pieces-- right there, in his garden in the woods. Though Tony Costa's gruesome case made screaming headlines in 1969 and beyond, Liza never connected her friendly babysitter and the infamous killer until decades later. Haunted by nightmares and horrified by what she learned, Liza became obsessed with the case. Now she and cowriter Jennifer Jordan reveal the unimaginable story of a charming but brutal psychopath through the eyes of a young girl who once called him her friend
