Publisher's Synopsis
Charles "Carl" Panzram was an American serial killer, rapist, arsonist, robber and burglar. In prison confessions and his autobiography, he claimed to have committed 21 murders, most of which could not be corroborated, and over 1,000 acts of sodomy of boys and men. After a series of imprisonments and escapes, he was executed in 1930 for the murder of a prison employee at Leavenworth. Carl Panzram possessed an obsessive hatred for the human race that bordered on the maniacal. This loathing for himself and his fellow man was manifested in a lifetime of murder and mayhem. This book is a chilling and gripping account of one of the most brutal and gruesome true crime stories in American history. The riveting narrative draws the reader into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
