Twenty-five of the most horrific murder cases in American crime are brought together in this detailed and haunting compilation. Among the criminals covered are Bill Benefiel, the “Superglue Monster,” who brutally tortured his teenage victims to death; Kenneth Boyd, who killed his wife and her father while his three sons watched; and Veronica and Ivan Gonzalez, who systematically tortured their four-year-old niece over a period of six months before scalding her to death in a bathtub, making them the first married couple on death row. With in-depth accounts of each perpetrator and crime, Dead Men Walking offers a voice of reason in an exhausted debate between politicians, the public, and the press on the line between man and monster, and between justice and murder.
