Discover the disturbing inner workings of the serial killer brain in this gripping compendium of true crime stories, each placing the mind of an infamous murderer under the microscope

For years, criminal psychologists have tried to understand the minds of murderers. The key questions remain the same: Is a serial killer born or made? What leads them down such a dark path? And how can they justify their evil deeds to themselves?

This fascinating exploration of criminal minds seeks to answer these questions by examining some of the most infamous serial murder cases of all time. From mission-oriented minds like the Yorkshire Ripper to hedonistic killers like Ted Bundy, this book recounts the bloodcurdling events of each case before taking a deeper dive into the individual's twisted psychology, their background and upbringing, and the events that led them to become a cold-hearted killer.

What goes on in the mind of a serial killer? Perhaps we'll never fully understand, but in this book, we can begin to process the motives, experiences and delusions that drive someone to commit the most heinous crimes imaginable.
