A chilling collection of real-life stories ripped from the headlines and
the cells of death row covering some of the world's most brutal
criminals Twenty-five of the most horrific murder cases in U.S. history
are brought together in this detailed and haunting compilation. Among
the criminals covered are Bill Benefiel, the "Superglue Monster," who
brutally tortured his teenage victims to death; Kenneth Boyd, who killed
his wife and her father while his three sons watched; and Veronica and
Ivan Gonzalez, who systematically tortured their four-year-old niece
over a period of six months before scalding her to death in a bathtub,
making them the first married couple on death row. With in-depth
accounts of each perpetrator and crime, this book offers a voice of
reason in an exhausted debate between politicians, the public, and the
press on the line between man and monster, between justice and murder.
