LAS VEGAS SERIAL KILLER

Three days after his release Johnathan arrives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Naturally, Johnathan decides to embark on another murderous rampage that came to be known as "The Glitter Gulch Holocaust".
Not everyone’s Vegas vacation ends with a jackpot—sometimes it’s a body count.
Ray Dennis Steckler trades in sunshine and slot machines for sleaze and slaughter, as Las Vegas becomes the hunting ground for a killer sprung on a technicality. Inspired by true events and serving as a grim follow-up to The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher, this is Sin City as only Steckler could imagine: blood-soaked and brazen.
