This second volume of the bestselling annual anthology features some of the finest true crime writing on serial killers. Several returning authors from Volume 1 present new chilling stories. Peter Vronsky recounts the 2007 crimes of Adam Leroy Lane, a truck driver who, inspired by a serial killer movie, donned Ninja black to murder and mutilate women until a teenage girl thwarted him. RJ Parker introduces Michael Wayne McGray, a Canadian killer who murdered indiscriminately, even while imprisoned. He also details Lonnie Franklin Jr., known as the "Grim Sleeper," who took a fourteen-year break from his brutal killings in Los Angeles. Katherine Ramsland updates the unsolved 1976 child murders in Detroit that inspired various artistic works. In a bizarre twist, Ramsland explores Douglas Perry, a serial killer who transitioned to Donna Perry and claimed his former self committed the murders. Michael Newton presents two killers in healthcare: Dr. Harold Shipman, who may have killed 250 patients, and Donald Harvey, the "Angel of Death," who confessed to 87 murders. Sylvia Perrini revisits the horrific case of Rosemary West and her husband, who tortured and killed ten women, including their daughter. She also examines Joanne Dennehy, a mother who embarked on a shocking killing spree. Newcomer Kelly Banaski shares the unsettling tale of a Canadian colonel whose panty fetish escalated into horrific crimes. Enjoy and be horrified!
