Elizabeth Kendall is not her real name, but she is a real person. Ted Bundy is on Death Row in a Florida prison, convicted of the murders of two young women and a twelve-year-old girl; stands convicted of an attempted kidnapping of a young woman in Utah; escaped from a Colorado prison where he was awaiting trail for murder; and is believed by some police authorities to be responsible for the death s of as many as forty young women in these and other states. Books and articles about Ted Bundy have described his charm and appeal to women, his intelligence and his promising career in politics. They have speculated about the hidden horror and the terrible mystery of what made this man a killer. No one has an answer.

Review of 'The Phantom Prince' on 'Goodreads'

Elizabeth Kendall first had this book published in 1981, when she still felt love and sympathy for Ted Bundy, arguably the most famous American serial killer. Despite her suspicions, she still found herself enamored of Ted and his manipulative personality. Though I’ve never known or dated anyone so disturbed, I found myself relating to Kendall’s feelings toward Ted. Sometimes you don’t understand why you love someone, despite the glaring reasons why you shouldn’t. You can’t help who you fall in love with, and this book does nothing if not solidify that point.
