| Summary, Etc. |
"Caroline Fraser grew up in the shadow of Ted Bundy, the most notorious serial murderer of women in American history. As Murderland indelibly maps the lives and careers of Bundy and his infamous peers, Fraser uncovers an overlapping pattern of environmental destruction. Evidence mounts that the plumes of lead, copper, and arsenic smelters warped young minds, including some who grew up to become serial killers. A propulsive nonfiction thriller, Murderland transcends true-crime voyeurism and noir mythology, taking readers on a profound quest into the dark heart of the real American berserk"-- Back cover.
