STILL AT LARGE A Casebook of 20th Century Serial Killers Who Eluded Justice

Softcover. Not just a sourcebook, but a gripping collection of stories about the 20th century's most frightening elusive killers. Every year there are more than 20,000 murders in the USA alone, and 25% of the perpetrators are unknown. The killers in this book could be lurking in your neighbourhood, your office, even your home. The author recounts true tales of unsolved serial murders in which the killers managed to slip the grip of the law. These grisly slayers aren't content with a clean hit-and-run. Each leaves a sickening signature, such as : "Bible John," who swept his victims off their feet, literally. After he met young women at a ballroom dancing parlour, he'd take them out and strangle them with their own stockings. The devil who chose priests as his prey, mangling them with brutal beatings. The "Doodler," a killer with a penchant for comic art who left 14 gay men dead in his wake. With Bibliog. and Index. 309pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Cover illus. by Mark Lang. F. with no creasing to covers.
