Serial Killers of the 80s - Stories Behind a Decadent Decade of Death

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.
