The Devil’s Pact

The Toolbox Killers’ Journey from Friendship to Murder

By: Dr. Eleanor H. Cross

Narrated by: Richard Mason's voice replica

Two men. One van. A pact with pure evil.

In the late 1970s, California’s highways became a hunting ground for Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, a pair of sadistic killers who transformed their van—The Murder Mac—into a mobile torture chamber. Their goal? To abduct, assault, and brutally murder young women, capturing their suffering on tape for their own twisted pleasure.

Now, in The Devil’s Pact, forensic expert Dr. Eleanor H. Cross exposes the terrifying journey of two men who went from prison buddies to one of the most feared predator duos in history. This audiobook is a descent into madness, piecing together their crimes, the haunting evidence, and the relentless pursuit of justice that finally put an end to their reign of terror.

This audiobook will take you deep into:

• The formation of a deadly partnership–how two psychopaths found each other behind bars.
• The mechanics of terror–a van designed for death and the gruesome details of their crimes.
• The victims' final moments–disturbing recordings that even hardened investigators couldn’t unhear.
• The relentless investigation–how detectives finally caught the killers before they could strike again.
• The courtroom showdown–shocking revelations and a fight for justice.
• The lasting horror–how their crimes still haunt families and investigators decades later.

WARNING: This audiobook is not for the faint of heart. The darkness within this audiobook is real, and once you hear their story, you may never feel truly safe again.

True crime storytelling at its most disturbing

A haunting profile of evil in partnership.

This story is a reminder that some friendships are fatal. The exploration of manipulation, power, and shared fantasy was bone-chilling. If you want to understand what made the Toolbox Killers tick, this is the definitive source.

Unmasks a rare but deadly dynamic

The way their personalities merged into a singular force of destruction is terrifying—and this audiobook captures that descent with surgical precision. Rarely do we see such an in-depth look at two individuals who feed off each other’s evil.

One of the darkest true crime books I’ve heard.

This is not for the faint of heart. The details are graphic but necessary, and the analysis of the killers’ dynamic is chilling. I appreciated how the author gives voice to the victims and doesn’t let the perpetrators dominate the narrative.
