Synopsis:

This text provides an in-depth, scholarly, and broad-based examination of serial murderers and their victims. The coverage is backed up by extensive data and research and profiles some of the most prominent murderers of our time. Author Eric Hickey examines the lives of nearly 400 serial murderers, analyzing the cultural, historical, and religious factors that influence our myths and stereotypes of these individuals. He then describes the biological, psychological, and sociological reasons for serial *, offering his own model for explaining serial-murder behavior.

From the Author: Using criminal psychology in understanding serial murderers.
For readers who possess a passion for understanding the criminal mind, criminal personalities and abnormal psychology, this text is an excellent resource. Indeed, as I conducted interviews with serial killers I realized that this text would delve into the darkest recesses of their minds and personalities. It is a disturbingly horrific study which perhaps raises more questions than it answers. This is the nature of research. I welcome comments from my readers.
