In Most Dangerous Serial Killers, author Evan Russell exposes the most infamous murderers in history—their twisted motivations, calculated methods, and the dark psychology that drove them to kill again and again.

While other profilers tend to conceal the clear facts behind complex technical language and psychobabble, investigator Pat Brown actually tells it like it is.

" Personne ne sortira indemne de l’affaire Fourniret, pas FRANCIS NACHBAR même vous, Monsieur le Procureur." Cette phrase, Fourniret l’a assénée quelques minutes après sa première rencontre avec le procureur Nachbar. C’était le 3 juillet 2004, lors des fouilles dans le parc du château du Sautou, dans les Ardennes, où furent découvert les corps de deux de ses victimes. Le monstre ne s’est pas trompé. Dix-huit ans après, ces mots résonnent encore comme une mauvaise litanie.

Syväluotaava katsaus Aasian julmimpiin sarjamurhaajiin. Eräänä epämiellyttävän kylmänä ja kosteana iltana vuonna 1948 kaksi poliisia partioi Shinjukun alueella Tokiossa. Jostakin tuntemattomasta syystä toinen poliiseista huomasi jotain epäilyttävää kadulla liikkuvassa yksinäisessä pyöräilijässä, ja päätti pysäyttää tämän. Mies osoittautui paikalliseksi hautaustoimitsijaksi, joka kertoi kuljettavansa kotiin sukulaiseltaan saamiaan hedelmiä. Pyörän tarakalle kiinnitetystä hedelmälaatikossa ei kuitenkaan ollut mandariineja, kuten mies väitti.

Syväluotaava katsaus Aasian julmimpiin sarjamurhaajiin. Indonesian rikkaaseen mytologiaan kuuluu käsitys kolmesta rinnakkaisesta maailmasta sekä ihmisistä, jotka voivat liikkua näiden maailmojen välillä ja toimia viestinvälittäjinä. Tällaisia henkilöitä kutsutaan shamaaneiksi, meedioiksi tai velhoiksi. Jaavan kielessä heidät tunnetaan nimellä dukun, ja heillä katsotaan olevan erikoisia kykyjä, jotka siirtyvät usein mestarilta oppipojalle. Uskotaan, että mestaridukunit opastavat oppilaitaan jopa haudan takaa.
