Leon had to learn early to throw a bag of mealies over his shoulder and walk away with it. He was barely fourteen years old when he so skillfully handled a bow and arrow that any Bushman's mouth would have watered. Because he was the only son and child of his parents, he found his amusement in the field, where he hunted jackals and stuck leopards under the arrow. His hands learned early to twist a young ox's horns so that the animal fell powerless to the ground. Leon's mother died early, just before the First War of Freedom, when the Basothos attacked a few remote farms. From then on, Leon's father became an adventurer. Together, they moved into the unknown, always deeper into the unknown Transvaal. And Lettie? Leon and she grew up together. Both her parents were killed by the Basothos and Leon's father then took care of her. Lettie with her soft, wavy, blonde hair and blue eyes, blue as the cloudless sky of the Lowveld. And now she is already a sixteen-year-old boer girl. One night, a couple of cattle thieves steal all of Leon's cattle, kill his father and kidnap Lettie in the process. Leon swears revenge on the murderers and cattle thieves. With a leopard, he had to kill for survival, he then made a mask out of it, and thus the legend of the Black Panther was born. The appearance of the Panther man scares anyone who sees it, and Leon uses it very skillfully to instill fear and authority among the thieves. But it was by no means easy, and Leon had to endure certain hardships to ensure that justice was done.

When detectives respond to a crime scene in Orlando, Florida, during the "summer of hurricanes" in 2004, they find Charlie Brandt hanging from the rafters in the garage of his niece, Michelle Jones' home. Inside the house, they find a scene of horror that reminds them of other murders. In 1978, 13-year-old Carol Lynn Sullivan's head was found inside a rusty paint can in Osteen, Florida; her body was never found. Homeless transient Sherry Perisho was murdered in 1989, after moving to Florida from Illinois. Finally, in 1995, Miami prostitute Darlene Toler was deposited on the side of the road, wrapped up "like a package." Perisho and Toler had their hearts removed; all three had been decapitated; and all three are believed by investigators to have been the prior victims of Charlie Brandt. Invisible Killer is the true story of crimes committed by Brandt with insight from an FBI profiler and forensic psychologist, victim's friends and relatives, and the unique writings from victims themselves before their deaths.

Since the first recorded U.S. case of mass murder in 1949, massacres have been increasing each decade, with workplace violence taking the lead as the most common form. The psychology of the killers, however, differs from that of spree, serial, or situational murderers. Based on a review of mass murders, the author argues that the red flags of a developing mass killer are obvious and predictable, and people who learn to recognize them may be able to defuse a potentially violent situation before it occurs. Using details from various cases, she examines the different kinds of mass murders, from visionary to family to workplace, and the distinct psychological dynamics of the different types of murders.

Can you predict killing sprees? What do mass killers have in common? Why do so many of them write manifestos online and what do these tell us? These are some of the questions David J. Krajicek seeks to answer in Mass Killings, on a topic that is becoming increasing urgent and desperate. In recent decades, mass shootings worldwide have increased in their savagery and frequency. Nearly all mass killers are male - and many of them are bound together by misogyny, misanthropy, and racism. They do not just "snap." They plan their assaults for months or years, drawing up detailed battle plans, and accumulating weaponry. They document the process in journals or videos online, understanding that they are leaving evidence which will help the marquee lights of their futile crimes burn brighter and longer. Krajicek shows the commonalities between mass shooters, and describes the psychopathic process that leads these troubled men to commit atrocities. Mass killers feed off each other's words and deeds, and it's crucial to be able to read the signals they give out to prevent future tragedies.

While "Mass murder" refers to the murder of several people at the same time, "serial murder" describes several killings by the same perpetrator in a repetitive pattern. Usually these incidents count a high toll of victims and create significant anxiety in the public. Yet, the rate of finding murderers in these cases is relatively very low, especially in serial murders; that is if they are ever caught at all. Arnon Edelstein examines the various categories of mass murder and serial murder and suggests a new category: "mass-serial murder". He presents and criticizes the most up-to-date research and theoretical literature in the field and suggests an integrative theoretical model. This groundbreaking volume is intended for criminologists, psychologists, sociologists, students, and readers who are interested in truly understanding the complicated aspects of this fascinating field of investigation.
