Kathleen Richards was pas zeventien toen zij en haar zus Deirdre bij een ogenschijnlijk vriendelijk echtpaar in Gloucester aanklopten: Fred en Rose West. Na een jeugd vol armoede en misbruik in Dublin hoopte Kathleen in Engeland een nieuw begin te vinden. Aanvankelijk leek 25 Cromwell Street een veilige haven, maar al snel veranderde alles in een nachtmerrie. Fred begon haar te misbruiken–met Rose’ instemming–en toen medebewoonster Shirley plots verdween, werd de dreiging ondraaglijk.

Trust is the deadliest weapon. The killers in this book weren't strangers. They were husbands and wives, neighbors with friendly dogs, family members who sat across the dinner table. They spent years building the relationships they would eventually destroy. From suburban homes to isolated citrus groves, these twelve cases reveal what happens when ordinary people decide that the lives around them are simply obstacles to be removed.

La vicenda del Mostro di Firenze costituisce la più lunga inchiesta giudiziaria del nostro Paese: una serie di duplici delitti dal 1968 al 1985, una sentenza finale che lascia casi irrisolti e non convince nemmeno gli stessi magistrati. La prima parte è dedicata al racconto delle circostanze di tutti gli otto duplici omicidi del Mostro di Firenze, e alla ricostruzione, quasi sempre controversa, della loro dinamica. La seconda parte è un excursus nella ramificata gamma di teorie, con i loro pro e i loro contro, sull'identità del (o dei) "serial killer delle coppiette".

A Russian predator who bound victims with homemade garrotes while police struggled to connect the dots across jurisdictions. A midnight attack on teenage campers in a Finnish forest—three dead, one survivor, zero arrests. An Ohio butcher so surgically precise that even legendary lawman Eliot Ness couldn't stop them. A 450-mile Canadian highway where dozens vanished while authorities looked the other way. A Nigerian forest where urban legend became horrifying reality.

Con la sua prosa intensa e incalzante, Stefano Nazzi ripercorre quei decenni bui, portandoci nelle menti di alcuni dei più spaventosi serial killer americani. Accanto a loro, ci sono le storie delle donne e degli uomini che li hanno inseguiti, studiati, catalogati. Negli scantinati di Quantico, due agenti dell'FBI, Robert Ressler e John Douglas, iniziarono ad analizzare i profili degli assassini seriali e poi a parlare con loro. Da quelle conversazioni nacque il profiling, l'idea che dietro l'apparente caos ci fosse un metodo e che dunque si potessero prevedere azioni imprevedibili.
