Description
Serial killers have become a familiar feature on the American landscape, evoking a range of reactions from revulsion to morbid fascination. The media's portrayal of these individuals has created a shared understanding of what a serial killer is, but what if this profile is not entirely accurate? In "Programmed to Kill", David McGowan challenges this conventional view by examining the lives of notorious accused murderers, searching for patterns that suggest there may be more to their stories than initially meets the eye. By focusing on the often-overlooked aspects of serial killers' lives, McGowan sheds new light on the subject. This thought-provoking book invites readers to question their assumptions about serial killers and consider the possibility that what is commonly believed may not be entirely true. With its fresh perspective and in-depth analysis, "Programmed to Kill" offers a compelling exploration of the complexities of serial murder.
