Fifteen-year-old Tony Ciaglia had everything a teenager could want
until he suffered a horrific head injury at summer camp. When he
emerged from a coma, his right side was paralyzed, he had to
relearn how to walk and talk, and he needed countless pills to
control his emotions.
Abandoned and shunned by his friends, he began writing to serial
killers on a whim and discovered that the same traumatic brain
injury that made him an outcast to his peers now enabled him to
connect emotionally with notorious murderers. Soon many of
America's most dangerous psychopaths were revealing to him heinous
details about their crimes--even those they'd never been convicted
of.
Tony despaired as he found himself inescapably drawn into their
violent worlds of murder, rape, and torture--until he found a way
to use his gift. Asked by investigators from the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children to aid in solving a murder, Tony
launched his own searches for forgotten victims with clues provided
by the killers themselves.
"The Serial Killer Whisperer "takes readers into the minds of
murderers like never before, but it also tells the inspiring tale
of a struggling American family and a tormented young man who found
healing and closure in the most unlikely way--by connecting with
monsters.
