Book description
Son
Jack Olsen's Son isn't just true crime-it's a raw excavation of privilege, denial, and the unsettling quiet of evil next door. The story unfolds like a slow-motion collision. A serial rapist terrorizes Spokane. Women live in fear. A city holds its breath. Then the arrest. Then the name. Gordon Coe's son. The managing editor's boy. Clean-cut. Respectable. A psychopath hiding in plain sight.
Olsen doesn't rush. He builds the Coe family portrait with chilling precision. Over eighteen months, he interviews more than 150 people. He listens to the women who loved Fred Coe-the ones who lived with him, trusted him, shared their lives with him. And slowly, the horror emerges. Not just what Fred did. But what it means to realize, years too late, that the man you loved was never really there at all.
The audiobook version pulls you into this nightmare with an intimacy that print can't match. Every voice feels too close. Every revelation hits harder when spoken aloud. Olsen's prose is unflinching. He doesn't need embellishment. The facts are monstrous enough.
This isn't just about a monster. It's about the families that create them. The silence that enables them. The shock of recognition when the monster turns out to be someone you know. Son forces you to ask: how well do you really know the people closest to you? And what would you do if the answer was not at all?
