In the early 1900s young women began disappearing near Budapest. Bela Kiss, a handsome young soldier, answered the call of war and left his home to fight in the first World War.

When the barrels were opened, instead of gasoline, the authorities discovered something much more sinister.This short history describes the hunt for one of the world's most terrifying killers, a man who lured women to him home with promises of marriage, then proceeded to strangle them, drain their blood, and leave their pickled bodies preserved in barrels. The most horrifying fact about his crimes may be that he was never caught, and possibly picked up his murder spree in New York City.

Bonnie and Clyde weren't movie stars, but their story has played like one for nearly a century-fast cars, forbidden love, blazing shootouts. But behind the headlines and Hollywood myth was something much colder: a trail of violence, fear, and desperation that swept across the heartland during the Great Depression.This book peels away the fiction to reveal the harsh realities of two young people drawn together by poverty, thrill, and crime. With vivid detail and unflinching clarity, it traces their transformation from small-town dreamers to national fugitives. It's not a love story. It's not a tragedy. It's what really happened-and why it still haunts us.

The crime was unthinkable: a respected doctor is convicted of brutally murdering his pregnant wife. The trial that followed was a media circus--one often compared to the O.J. Simpson trial. The popularity of the case would go on to be one of the alleged inspirations of the TV show "The Fugitive" (and later the Harrison Ford movie of the same name)-something the creators deny, but fans insist is true.This book proves that truth is always more interesting than fiction. It looks at the murder, the suspects, and the ultimate outcome of one of the most notorious murders of all time.
