THRILL KILLERS True Portrayals of America's Most Vicious Murderers

Paperback. Thirty-one bodies are found underneath the basement floor of a contractor's home. A drifter confesses to over 300 murders and offers to lead authorities to grave sites in 36 states. Two headless torsos are found in a Times Square motor hotel. The headlines are familiar as the last decades have seen a dramatic increase in serial murders. No criminal is more feared and no one is harder to catch than a killer who chooses his victims among strangers, who kills not for money, not in anger, not for revenge, but for a perverse pleasure in the act of killing itself, or out of a depraved compulsion from the dark corners of a twisted mind.
