William Neal called himself “Wild Bill Cody.” He was a seducer who prayed on hopeless romantics, using women for their money until he killed them. After declaring himself “better than Ted Bundy,” Neal pleaded guilty to three murders and represented himself at his death penalty trial. But one courageous victim wasn't about to let the psychopathic killer charm the courtroom.

This four-volume set is the most comprehensive of its kind, encompassing over 1600 serial killers in history from all over the globe. In this first volume covering killers from A to D, you’ll see such entries as the infamous Ted Bundy, the Angel of Death killer Donald Harvey, and cannibal Nikolai Dzhumagaliev.

A tale of tomb raiders, legal battles, suspicious death, and a 2500-year-old vase.
