The 1980s were a time of notorious serial killers--Jeffrey Dahmer,
Aileen Wuornos, Samuel Little--but also of advances in forensics that
helped lead to their capture.
The serial killer became part of our common cultural consciousness in
the 1970s and, in the decade that followed, the FBI confronted even more
incomprehensible crimes and their perpetrators. This engrossing
collection of illustrated true-crime profiles details the unthinkable
exploits of a rogue's gallery that includes--in addition to Jeffrey
Dahmer, Aileen Wuornos, and Gary Ridgway--Samuel Little and Joseph James
DeAngelo, serial murderers whose criminal legacies are still making
headlines today.
