Publisher's Synopsis
Two of the most vicious serial killers of the past thirty years are profiled here...Dennis Rader and Guy Georges.Dennis Rader was nicknamed the BTK Killer for his propensity for binding, torturing, and then killing his victims, terrorized the Wichita, Kansas, area from 1974 until 1991. He has ten known victims who he murdered either via strangulation or by stabbing them to death. His victims were primarily females and some were children. He gained notoriety for sending boastful and cryptic letters to the police and various media outlets describing the details of his crimes, along with poetry he had written and trophies he had taken from his victims. After a hiatus during the 1990s, Rader resumed his correspondence with police and the media in 2004 before being arrested in 2005.Guy Georges was one of the most notorious serial killers ever to roam the streets of Paris. He was known as 'The Beast of the Bastille' because several of his attacks happened near the infamous prison, but the name is fitting for another reason as well, Georges enjoyed the hunt of his victims as much as the kill, much as a beast would. Over the course of seven years he claimed seven victims, and most certainly would have continued if he hadn't been caught. In the end, the beast was caged behind bars, but many Parisians still worry he could escape at any moment.
