Serial Killers

Summary

This book contains the following titles:

1 - Ted Bundy was one of the most infamous rapists and sexual predators, necrophiles, and murderers in the western part of the United States. Having been abused in his childhood and fed pornographic material from an early age, his crimes became more daring, violent, and vicious as he got a thrill from dismembering or sexually tormenting one victim after another. At the end of his life, after several escapes from prison, he was convicted and got the electric chair. Even then, despite his confessions, his manipulative ways seemed to have so much influence on the women he had dated, that many still proclaimed their love for him and were sad to see him leave this world.

2 - Al Capone was an infamous mob boss between the two world wars, in the city of New York and surrounding areas. His name and style have been emulated in movies. The mass shootings, tax evasion, and revenge on Italian murders in the mafia gangs on the United States east coast were so notorious that they have become iconic and stereotyped. How did Al Capone get the scars on his face? How did he manage to control so much of the gangs in the cities? How was he able to bribe the police, evade taxes, and become a terror for anyone who opposed him? And how did his life finally come to an end?

3 - Jack the Ripper was an unknown serial killer active in the mainly poor parts around the Whitechapel district of London in the year 1888. In both the criminal case files and modern journalistic books, the killer was referred to as the Whitechapel Killer and Leather Apron. He caused quite some havoc, going after some of the most impoverished neighborhoods and killing victim after victim, without ever being found. The British police was dumbstruck and carried out multiple investigations, coming up with various suspects but never able to pinpoint who did it or why.
