The terrifying true story of The Casanova Killer: a twisted pickup artist who charmed vulnerable women—and left a trail of death from Florida to California.

Tall, blond and handsome with icy green eyes, Glen Rogers knew how to entice lonely women out of bars and into the night. Each one thought she had found the perfect man—until Roger got her alone. Then he turned on her in a bloody rage. In all, four women across America would find out too late the deadly truth.

Underneath his Prince Charming facade, Roger hid a twisted fury that could only be sated by strangling or stabbing women to death. Finally, after a gruesome six-week killing spree that shocked the nation and landed Rogers on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list, he was caught in a grueling high-speed chase.

Now veteran true crime author Clifford L. Linedecker examines one of history's most notorious serial killers in this vividly detailed chronicle featuring eight pages of startling photographs.
