THE LOST SON OF SAM LETTERS

Deathwork

After Evans sent Sam a copy of Red Dragon and encouraged him to read it, no doubt thinking it was right up Sam's alley, Sam rejected the book.

"I finished the book," Sam said of Red Dragon. "The book was fair—very overrated. Now I'm on Deathwork."

Published in 1977, Deathwork basically follows the stories of four murderers on death row, three males and one female.

Son of Sam related to Deathwork on a psychological level; this was obvious. He could feel the pain of these condemned inmates, as he had felt the world was against him and what he had done.

"Listen," he told Evans, "this book is GREAT! A look inside the Florida prison system. I can't put this book down. In fact, I'm reading it with my left hand and typing with my right. I also slept with it last night."
