The idea of the wandering murderer, leaving a trail of mutilated bodies in his wake, has long fascinated followers of true crime. By charting the geography of the killer's actions, Mapping the Trail of a Serial Killer takes an innovative geographical approach to exploring the killing sprees of twenty-five notorious murderers from the early- twentieth century right up to the present day. With specially commissioned maps pinpointing each killer's actions, and archival photographs, this book reveals patterns of behaviour and provides fascinating insight into the minds behind some of the world's most shocking crimes. Most of the cases examined are from recent decades, and include the Beltway sniper attacks in Washington, D.C.
