About this deal

Michael Newton (born 1951) is an American author best known for his work on Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan series. As a true crime fan I love all books on the subject, this book has so much information, people I never even heard of are within the book, a wonderful guide for all true crime enthusiasts, there are 4 volumes on kindle and hardback I have the kindle versions, I will be purchasing them all once on audiobook, for now we have this one and I hope it’s not too long before the next is released, completely worth purchasing if this is your interest, if it isn’t you might be surprised and love it, my mum used to think It was gruesome to like true crime, now she reads true crime herself and is just as intrigued as me as to why evil exists within these people, what flips that switch and can’t be reversed.

The book covers all kinds of killers, from solo killers - like the Son of Sam, to unresolved cases such as the Zodiac, this book has it all! MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE: The True Story of Three Unsolved Murders in Prohibition Era San Diego by Richard L. from Homebodies (psychos who slay in the comfort of their homes) to Plumbing (how clogged drains have undone the most discreet killer), THE A TO Z ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SERIAL KILLERS is the ultimate reference for anyone compelled by the personalities and pathologies behind the most disturbing of crimes.

Defined by the FBI as a person who murders three or more people over a period of time with a hiatus of weeks or months between murders, serial killers have walked among us from the dawn of time as these books will demonstrate. In RUBICON, the electrifying sequel to Tom Julian's acclaimed spy-fi series, TIMBERWOLF, our relentless hero once again finds himself in the eye of an interstellar storm.

Serial killers seem to capture our interest more than many other types of criminals and this is an excellent collection of information on the most prolific killers in recent (and not so recent) history. Only about 300 pages are dedicated to the main content, the rest are lengthy index, appendices, etc.What I really like about this book is the aspect of every serial killer which deals about their background as well as why would they committe such a crime that forever haunt us till this very day. Auch wenn ich das Buch sehr interessant finde, war es stellenweise doch auch langweilig, weil mir einfach vieles schon bekannt war. There are also lesser known serial killers, covering many countries around the world, so broad is the range. There are well written accounts of many serial killers going from obscure to the famously notorious. The book is formatted like an encyclopedia but it reads like a collection of short stories on the most sordid of humans.
