But they want to attend schools that would cost him more than $100,000 a year. He cannot afford to send them to such elite schools, but he does not want to smash their dreams. So, he resorts to a life of crime -- robbing and murdering more than half a dozen people on his walking mail route. His familiarity with his victims allows him to learn which ones are prime candidates for robbery. The thefts inadvertently turn into murders and Parker finds himself in too deep to get out. But the police are stymied in their efforts to catch him and his robbery treasury grows to several hundred thousand dollars. But he finds his personal home life is going through amazing changes and tries to cope as a criminal and a father.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5894152\"\u003eKen Mink\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781463682002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146368200X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC022020\"\u003eMystery \u0026amp; Detective | Police Procedural\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKen Mink has spent more than 50 years as journalist\/author.

He was featured on numerous national TV shows and was highlighted in hundreds of newspapers and magazines. He has signed with a Hollywood producer to do a movie based on his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43273801695469,"sku":"9781463682002","price":12.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_764ef689-4573-4953-b30d-d7589cd4a133.jpg?v=1662043203","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-mailman-murders-a-serial-killer-matches-wits-with-atlanta-police-9781463682002","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
