Vicious Impulses

It's the 1950s and the naked body of a young girl, lying face up, partially covered by brush, is discovered in the woods. Is this the beginning of a murder investigation into the young man who presented himself as a good student and dependable worker--someone who was well-liked by adults? The author delves into the life of Carl Klick, his early crimes, and the façade he presented to those who knew him. Will his psychotic tendencies and vicious impulses lead him to murder again?

Vicious Impulses explores the life of a young man starting in the early 1950s, who even as a young boy, displayed criminal tendencies by committing a variety of crimes, for which he escaped prosecution. Then, as a teenager, he strangled his sixteen-year-old sister and discarded her naked body in a wooded area. He served only a portion of his sentence for his sister's murder before being paroled. He maintained a convincing façade of leading an exemplary life, but for how long could he fool those around him? Would he be able to control his psychotic and vicious tendencies?

Walter Williams lived most of his life in Galion, Ohio, until his passing in 2013. A veteran of World War II, he spent 16 months as a POW after being shot down over Germany.

He had a lifelong interest in magic and often entertained, performing magic shows for a variety of audiences.

During his retirement, he served as a Special Deputy with the Morrow County Sheriff's Department and began his writing career. His book, For You the War is Over, was inspired by his time spent in a prisoner of war camp. He has also published five other books, including this one, his final book.
