Publisher's summary
Four chilling true crime stories in one collection from the best-selling author Ryan Green.
Volume seven contains some of Green’s most intriguing accounts of violence, abuse, deception, and murder. Within this collection, you'll receive:
"Drop Dead Dangerous: The Lethal Attraction of Road Trip Killer, Paul John Knowles":
After being released from jail, handsome and charming Paul John Knowles embarked on a gruesome joyride of kidnapping, rape, and murder across multiple state borders. As the manhunt gathered pace, the cold-blooded killing spree continued to defy detectives. How many more lives would be lost before the police finally caught up?
"Butcher, Biter, Spy: A True Story of Madness, Mutilation, and Unspeakable Acts of Brutality":
Despite his child abuse charges, Fritz Haarmann was allowed to walk free. He was psychologically unfit to stand trial, and was released from the mental asylum because of a diagnosis as “morally inferior”. His insights into the criminal underworld convinced the police to overlook his “activities” and trust him as an informant. What harm could it do?
"Outback Outlaw: The Dark Legacy of Australia’s Backpacker Killer, Ivan Milat":
Fifty armed police officers surrounded the home of Ivan Milat. Detaining a man with a hatred for authority and an obsession with firearms would be a monumental challenge, but he had to pay for practicing his favorite sport: hunting humans. An uncompromising account of a man who cemented his place in the annals of Australian true crime.
"Seeking Hearts: Love, Lust, and the Secrets in the Ashes":
Henri Landru preyed upon the vulnerable hearts of lonely young women, masquerading as a grieving widower desperate to fill the void in his shattered life. As this gripping tale unfolds, the sinister depths of Landru's motives are laid bare. Would some of Landru’s 283 targets find out in time to save themselves?

There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.

Eight true crime stories of murder and mayhem. In my first audiobook as a true crime author I've started with a few of the stories that have haunted me for some time. Some of these stories are unbelievable in their brutality while others are astounding in the stupidity of the killers. This collection of stories are from all around the globe and have no common thread between them other than that they are both thought provoking and disturbing. The stories included in this anthology are dark and creepy and will leave you with a new understanding of just how fragile the human mind can be.

Story
After his first grisly crime, Harvey Louis Carignan beat a death sentence and continued to manipulate, rape, and bludgeon women to death - using want ads to lure his young female victims. And time after time, justice was thwarted by a killer whose twisted legal genius was matched only by his sick savagery. Here, complete with the testimony of women who suffered his unspeakable sexual abuses and barely escaped with their lives and of the police who at last put him behind bars, is one of the most shattering and thought-provoking true-crime stories of our time.

In recent years, it has become home to more than 1,200 penal camps - modern-day gulags that are estimated to house three million members of the Kazakh and Uyghur minorities.

But fewer know that Olathe achieved notoriety again in 1982, when a member of Olathe's growing Evangelical Christian population, a gentle man named David Harmon, was bludgeoned to death while sleeping - the force of the blows crushing his face beyond recognition.

Story
The Sinner and the Saint is the deeply researched and immersive tale of how Dostoevsky came to write this great murder story - and why it changed the world. As a young man, Dostoevsky was a celebrated writer, but his involvement with the radical politics of his day condemned him to a long Siberian exile. There, he spent years studying the criminals that were his companions. Upon his return to St. Petersburg in the 1860s, he fought his way through gambling addiction, debilitating debt, epilepsy, the deaths of those closest to him, and literary banishment.

This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent '60s and early '70s displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works. In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain - the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

The death of promising young pediatric AIDS researcher Eric Miller stunned the Raleigh, North Carolina, community, largely because of the horrific way he was killed. For months, Eric was slowly tortured as arsenic consumed his body. No one thought that Eric Miller's wife, Ann - an attractive, demure, educated scientist - could be capable of such a horrible crime. No one except for veteran homicide investigator Chris Morgan, a man in the twilight of his career. But from the moment Morgan saw the 30-year-old widow in the police department interview room, he knew he was seeing pure evil.

Story
The most common triggers for homicide are fear, rage, revenge, money, lust, and, more rarely, sheer madness. This isn’t an exact science, of course. Any given murder can have multiple triggers. Sex and revenge seem to be common partners in crime. This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw. In each case, I examine the trigger that led to death. I chose this theme for the book because even though the why of a murder case may not be critical in an investigation, it can sometimes lead us to the killer.

Many engrossing stories!
This is a wonderful collection of many of Ryan Green's works. The narration is easy to listen to. Mr. Green has a way of writing these stories that incorporate the facts in such a way that you don't feel that you are reading a police report. You learn about the thoughts and inner workings of these criminals that causes you to wonder about cause and effect on the human psyche. Every story is about a terrible criminal yet every story is quite different. I enjoy listening to help make mundane tasks (dishes, anyone?) more enjoyable and learn something at the same time.

True Monsters
Mr. Green has the ability to take facts and weave them together in a way that is easy to read but also chilling. Some true crime books seem to be "just the facts, ma'am", which often makes for dry reading. Not so with Mr. Green's books! And, once again, he has managed to make these true monsters seem very realistic and even sympathetic at times. I always hate to say that I enjoyed a book like this or that I was entertained by it; it is too disturbing to describe it in this way.
The author has taken obscure (at least to me) serial killers and brought them to life. I appreciate the fact that Mr. Green not only delves into the mind of the killers, he also brings the victims to life and gives them a name and a personality. He has done a great deal of research in order to give the reader a lot of facts, sometimes many years after the crimes occurred. I always know that when I read one of his books, I will be horrified (but also entertained). It's hard to imagine how many truly awful people there are in the world.
Even though I had previously read the ebook versions of these stories, listening to the audiobook was even more chilling. The narrator does his usual outstanding job in bringing the book to life. If you are a true crime fan, this is a great collection and you won't be disappointed.

True crime at a true bargain!
From one of the premier authors of this genre comes a collection of four outstanding and positively riveting accounts of the lives and heinous misdeeds of a few of mankind’s most disturbingly damaged individuals. Presented in the unique style that has won Ryan Green widespread recognition as a top tier author in this ever-popular genre, we are offered a detailed and often unnerving examination of the horror and suffering wrought by Paul John Knowles (The Casanova Killer), Fritz Haarman (The Butcher of Hanover), Ivan Milat (The Backpacker Murderer), and Henri Désiré Landru (The Bluebeard of Gambais). As I have mentioned in other reviews of Mr. Green’s work, his unparalleled skill for adroitly fusing fact, psychoanalysis, and well-reasoned conjecture into an informative and highly readable account stands alone in its ability to transport the reader back in time allowing us to experience, almost first-hand, the life stories of his fascinating, yet deeply flawed subjects. Couple that with the perfect narration provided by Steve White, whose voice can draw you into a story so completely that you think you are right there watching the events unfold, and you have a mesmerizing experience with each of the stories in this collection. I would urge any devotee of this genre who has not read all these stories to grab this collection and settle in for a great audio experience.
I read each of these books as they came out, but going back and listening to the stories as an audiobook collection makes them even more memorable. I did receive a free copy of the audiobook but my review reflects my honest opinion and is offered on a completely voluntary basis.
