Entering Hades: The Double Life of a Serial Killer - Softcover

Praise for Entering Hades
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice

"A finely scrupulous account...Unterweger's idiosyncrasies stand out even within the idiosyncratic world of serial killers. John Leake has written the definitive book--dispassionate, superbly detailed--on Jack Unterweger. Of its subject, no more now needs saying, beyond the words with which Leake ends his story, citing the wife of the Vienna detective who spent years unraveling the case: 'Thank God, he's dead.'"--The New York Times Book Review

"[A] fascinating book."--Los Angeles Times

"A story...that is too wild even for fiction...a propulsive narrative that has the feel of a thriller."--Philadelphia Inquirer

"This anatomy of an antihero describes a psychopath worthy of Patricia Highsmith's fiction--a Mr. Ripley with media savvy."--Playboy

"One heart-stopping turn after another."--Entertainment Weekly

"Entering Hades achieves a cinematic quality...But unlike Silence of the Lambs, Unterweger's story is real...compelling."--Penthouse

Reveals the life and crimes of Austrian serial killer and celebrity journalist Jack Unterweger and exposes the twists in the case in both the United States and Austria that led to his capture and Austria's trial of the century. Reprint.
