Canada is seen as a peaceful place, but this wake-up call shows us that
there have been more than 60 serial killers in our history.
There are more than 60 serial murderers in Canadian history. For too
long awareness of serial murder in Canada has been confined toWest
Coastbutcher Clifford Olson and the "Schoolgirl Murderers" Paul Bernardo
and Karla Homolka, along with the horrific acts of pig farmer Robert
Pickton. Unlike our American neighbours, Canada has been viewed as a
nation untouched by the shadow of multiple murder. Then came Colonel
Russell Williams and his bizarre homicides and serial home invasions,
which were sensational news worldwide on the Internet and television and
in scores of newspapers and magazines.
The reason for Canada's serial killer blackout is clear: until now such
information has never been compiled and presented in a single concise
work. ColdNorth Killers is a wake-up call. This detailed and haunting
account of Canada's worst monsters analyzes their crimes, childhoods,
and inevitable downfalls. It is an indispensablecompendium for any true
crime lover, criminologist, or law-enforcement officer.
