TRUE CRIME: KILLERS IN PLAIN SIGHT – NONFICTION

In Serial Killer: The Search for Houston’s Lost Boys, investigative journalist Lise Olsen brings to life the teens who in the early 1970s were hunted by a killer hiding in plain sight, and the work of forensic anthropologist Sharon Derrick. Many victims were never identified, and some remained undiscovered until Derrick, decades later, would give them their names and restore their dignity. Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers is a gripping investigation into the lives of infamous serial killers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, from Ted Bundy to the Night Stalker. But in an unexpected turn, author Caroline Fraser presents evidence linking these killers to the environmental toxicity caused by poisonous lead, copper, and arsenic smelters, which sickened many – and warped young minds.
