AN IN-DEPTH examination of serial murderers and their victims, that include the profiles of some of the most prominent murderers of our time. The author addresses various serial killer types: Organized and unorganized, men, women, doctors, and unsolved murder cases. BESTSELLING AUTHOR RJ Parker delves into the gritty, gruesome details of the most notorious serial killers to strike the United States, Canada and the UK, including the unidentified killers who may still be on the loose. TRUE CRIME GENRE is tremendously indebted to serial killers. A listing of books and movies that deal with serial killers would almost be a book in itself. Something about their twisted psychology and abhorrent acts have turned folks like John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, David Berkowitz, and Andrei Chikatilo, to name a few, into household names and media figures. In Serial Killer Case Files, true crime author RJ Parker offers several cases that deal with the names above and also shine a light on killers that are not as present in popular culture but whose bloody actions are worse than any horror movie out there. -- John Douglas, FBI Profiler (Ret'd), bestseller author
Review
"That's a whole lot of chillin' killin' crammed into one box set--made even more terrifying because it's all true. I found the book about women killers particularly disturbing, since we automatically assume such atrocities are committed by men. A shivering read, so keep the lights on and the doors bolted." - Richard Long
"What makes this book all the more amazing is the fact that is was written by a man who worked in various facets of Government and also consults with Police Departments when requested, not a trained psychologist or FBI agent. A lot of you may consider that as a possible negative, but Parker is as close to a master storyteller as you're going to get with the subject matter, and his knowledge and insight are superior to anyone else writing about serial killers today." - Mary Ann Frances
"RJ Parker's obvious knowledge of his subject stands him well in this interesting and informative collection. Some of the other review/ers have criticized RJ for his 'opinions' and it is precisely for this reason that I read his work. He gives a traditional 'True Crime' account of the various cases and criminals he discusses, but he does so in such an easily approachable way that the reader gets right to the heart of the cases without wading through pages of incremental boring details." - William Cook
"Great job to Mr. Parker for details, descriptions, thoughts, evaluations, and capturing the reader. Top notch criminal read if you ask me! I also enjoyed the R.J.'s opinions with details and facts added through-out. I personally found that beneficial, and I thought it added to my reading experience (probably because I'm the argumentative type that wants to hunt and find all the facts-so if I saw something interesting me more I would Google it). In my opinion, this was a great read-quick read, and well worth my time." - Candice Simpson
"RJ Parker is a Master of Words, when it comes to describing criminals and their actions. His stories respect the victims, while giving the reader a perspective of what the victim went through while the criminal committed heinous acts. If you are into true crime, you will love this series of books." - Sandy Johnson

From the Inside Flap
Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo
Karla Homolka, the eldest of three daughters, was born on May 4th, 1970 in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, to Karel and Dorothy Homolka. Paul Bernardo was born on August 27th, 1964 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to Marilyn and Kenneth Bernardo. Paul and Karla met in 1987 and married in 1991. Shortly after they married, it was all downhill from there. Author Note: I am not proud to say that this lovely couple is from my country.
Before they started their team rape and killings in 1991, Bernardo already had quite the history of rape, although he was not known to the authorities at that time. Between May 1987 and July 1990, he had raped eighteen young girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty-two.
His first murder victim was Tammy Homolka, Karla's younger sister. Bernardo encouraged Karla to drug her sister. When she did, Bernardo raped her before she woke up. Several months later they drugged Tammy again and both of them raped her, but this time Tammy died after choking on her own vomit. The police ruled it an accidental death, not knowing that before they called 911, Bernardo and Homolka had redressed Tammy and removed any incriminating evidence. Tammy Homolka died at the tender age of fifteen on December 23rd, 1990.
