The New York Times-bestselling account of the serial killers rampage and the ensuing manhunt. Now a Hulu true crime thriller starring Keira Knightley.On June 14, 1962, twenty-five-year-old Juris Slesers arrived at his mothers apartment to drive her to church. But there was no answer at the door. When he pushed his way inside, Juris found Anna Slesers dead on the kitchen floor, the cord of her housecoat knotted tightly around her neck.Over the next two years, twelve more bodies were discovered in and around Boston: all women, all sexually assaulted, and all strangled. None of the victims exhibited any signs of struggle, nothing was stolen from their homes, and there were no signs of forcible entry. The police could find no discernable motive or clues. Who was this madman? How was he entering womens homes? And what insanity was driving him?Drawn from hundreds of hours of personal interviews, as well as police, medical, and court documentation, this is a grisly, horrifying, and meticulously researched account of Albert DeSalvo-an American serial killer on par with Jack the Ripper.
