In 1990 in Washington state, the bodies of Yolanda Sapp, Nickie Lowe, and Kathy Brisbois were found on the banks of the Spokane River. They were part of a close-knit alliance of sex workers whose oath to protect each other was, in the end, hopeless. For twenty-two years their brutal murders went unsolved. In 2012, a DNA cold hit pointed to Douglas Perry. A repeat assault offender, Douglas was currently incarcerated in Carswell, Texas. But there was a twist: The facility was for female prisoners. The man authorities hunted for decades was now Donna Perry.

We tell ourselves we would know. That a killer would carry some visible mark, and that the people we trust could never be capable of the unthinkable. But the most chilling crimes are committed by the husband across the breakfast table, the coworker closing the shop, the polished stranger who remembers your children's names. This collection moves through quiet suburbs, small towns, and faraway cities to reconstruct thirty-six cases where evil wore an ordinary face.

How does a man shake the hand of the First Lady of the United States in May, then drive home and bury a teenage boy under his linen cupboard before midnight? How does a Polish picnic organiser, a precinct captain, a children's hospital clown, run twenty seven young men into the dirt beneath his own kitchen floor across six straight years on a quiet suburban street, while his neighbours bring round Christmas hampers and the postman calls him by his first name?

Some of them hid behind a name that wasn't theirs. Others hid behind a uniform, a reputation, a famous last name, or a job so ordinary no one thought to look twice. The twelve cases in this volume share one unsettling thread: the distance between who these people appeared to be and what they did when they were certain no one was watching. A few held that distance open for years. Some held it for decades. One died before anyone ever closed it.

Dahmer Entschlüsselt: Im finsteren Verstand von Amerikas meistgefürchtetem RaubmörderJeffrey Dahmer. Sie haben die Netflix-Serie gesehen. Sie kennen den Namen. Sie wissen von der Wohnung, den Fotografien, den Dingen im Gefrierfach. Sie wissen genug, um zu schaudern, wenn Milwaukee fällt, und genug, um das Thema zu wechseln, wenn es zu konkret wird. Aber Sie wissen nicht, warum. Niemand weiß es. Das ist das Problem. Drei Jahrzehnte Dokumentationen, Podcasts und Taschenbücher haben Dahmer in eine Marke verwandelt. In ein Halloween-Kostüm. In einen Bezugspunkt ohne Bedeutung.
