Summary

The Co-Ed Killer, Son of Sam, Hillside Strangler, and Dating Game Killer--in many ways, terrifying serial killers helped define the 1970s. These fascinating profiles present notorious as well as lesser-known murderers of that decade. Beyond Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz, it includes such perpetrators as Coral Eugene Watts, "The Sunday Morning Slasher," who killed 80 women; Edmund Kemper, the "Co-Ed Killer"; and Rodney Alcala, believed to have killed as many as 130 people
