In a real-life scenario straight out of "The Silence of the Lambs,"
Robert Keppel went one-on-one with the notorious serial killer Ted
Bundy, who advised Keppel on the detective's highly publicized
search for the elusive Green River Killer. Bundy's chilling
revelations were chronicled in "The Riverman," "a page-turner" (Ted
Montgomery, "Detroit News" ) praised by Ann Rule as "the definitive
book on serials." But Ted Bundy wasn't the first killer of his kind
- or the last.
"Signature Killers"
They leave telltale identifiers, their gruesome "calling cards,
" at the scenes of their crime. They are driven by a primitive
motivation to act out the same brutality over and over. With
brilliant detection, high-tech analysis - and a little luck - they
can be caught. But what does the signature killer seek from victim
to victim? The answers are hidden among the grisly evidence, the
common threads that link each devastating act.
Sparked by a growing concern over the steady rise of signature
murders, Robert Keppel explores in unflinching detail the monstrous
patterns, sadistic compulsions, and depraved motives of this breed
of killer. From the Lonely Hearts Killer who hunted the most
desperate of women in 1950s America, to the savage Midtown Torso
Murders that stunned the NYPD, to such infamous symbols of evil as
Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and John Gacy, these are the cases -
horrifying, graphic and unforgettable - that Keppel ingeniously
taps to shed light on the darkest corners of the pathological
mind.
