Creatures of Appetite by Todd Travis
They call it The Heartland Child Murders.
Everyone else calls it a nightmare. Locked doors don’t stop him. He leaves no trace behind. He only takes little girls.
His nickname… The Iceman.
A deranged serial killer roams wintry rural Nebraska with a demented purpose no one can fathom. Special Agent EMMA KANE, a former DC cop and damaged goods now with the FBI, is assigned to babysit burnt-out profiler JACOB THORNE, once the best in the business but now said to have lost his edge, as they both fly to Nebraska to catch this maniac.
Thorne is erratic, abrasive and unpredictably brilliant, but what he and Kane find in the heartland is much more than anyone bargained for, especially when the Iceman challenges them personally.
The clock is ticking and a little girl’s life is on the line.
And maybe even more with that, once they find out what he’s really up to.

Dark Deeds by Susan Fleet
True crime: 12 chilling case studies. Meet the victims, their killers and the bloody consequences of their deeds.
No one knows how many serial killers are roaming the United States. Some experts believe they murder as many as 180 people each year. Others say the count may be much higher because some serial killers hide the bodies and they’re never found. A pretty farm girl fed her victims to the hogs
Stalkers far outnumber serial killers. Each year they threaten 3.4 million people in America. Although stalkers may profess love for the objects of their obsession, many seriously injure or kill their “love object.” Eg: You’re the one that I want … to kill.
Domestic homicide is rampant in the US. Women and children rarely kill family members. Men commit the majority of domestic homicides. Some are crimes of passion. Others are carefully calculated. Why bother with a divorce when you can kill your spouse? A cross-dressing doctor murdered his wife to keep his millions.
