Written by the man who coined the term “serial killer”, this is a true story about how the study of “serial killers” began. It includes facts and information about the most prolific serial killers, and how those killers were interviewed and studied to gather information and build a profile of serial killers. The book was written in the mid 1990s, so some of the information about things that were in development or being talked about (like VICAP, for example) have now been constructed and put into place. It is vastly impressive to see what it took to get where we are today with the detection and apprehension of those individuals who commit multiple murders. The work that was done in this area is so vitally important to our society.
