Calling on Nancy Clement, his old FBI colleague, Gideon decides to hand the evidence over to new SS boss, Ray Dahlgren. But when Dahlgren refuses to take Gideon seriously, he is left with only one option - to launch his own investigation.

Die erste Frage muss wohl lauten: Gibt es überhaupt so viele Serienmörder, dass damit eine ganze Enzyklopädie gefüllt werden kann? Die Antwort: Es gibt sie, wie die sechste ergänzte und überarbeitete Auflage der "Großen Enzyklopädie der Serienmörder" beweist. Und es sind nicht die Unbekanntesten, die in dieser Sammlung vermerkt sind: Jack the Ripper beispielsweise, dessen Treiben im nebeligen London schon so manche Verfilmung erlebt hat.
