Publisher's Summary:

Serial Killers and Prostitutes, by award-winning criminologist and Ripperologist R. Barri Flowers, taps into the best-selling author's expertise on serial murderers and sex trade workers in offering an in-depth look at four noteworthy cases in which the two worlds collide.

Jack the Ripper, the unidentified Victorian serial killer of at least five prostitutes in the dangerous section of London, known as Whitechapel, in 1888. The Ripper, who slashed and horribly mutilated his sex worker victims, set the tone for diabolical, vicious serial slayers to follow for all time.

Aileen Wuornos was a white American prostitute, who doubled as a serial killer in murdering seven johns in Florida between 1989 and 1990. She claimed they tried to or succeeded in raping her during the course of prostituting herself. In the process, Wuornos ended up being apropos for this book as a sex worker and serial predator.

Kendall Francois was an African American serial killer, dubbed the "Poughkeepsie Killer," who strangled to death eight streetwalker prostitutes in Poughkeepsie, New York, between 1996 and 1998. Francois used his own residence as a horrifying house of homicides and burial ground.

The Edmonton Serial Killer represented one or more mostly unidentified serial killers who targeted and murdered dozens of prostitutes in the city of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada, between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s, and possibly beyond that. The sex trade worker victims were often picked up in the city's red-light district, murdered, and dumped in various killing fields in rural areas around Edmonton.

Members Reviews:

Extremely interesting!

In this book the author, R. Barri Flowers takes a look into the dark world of serial killers and the sad, dark world of one of societies most vulnerable victims, prostitutes...and what can happen when their two worlds collide.

He discusses the different "types" of serial killers as well as the different "types" of prostitutes. Then there are four chapters on different serial killers. Jack The Ripper, Aileen Wuornos, (who was not only a serial killer, she was also a prostitute)!, Kendall Franois and The Edmonton Serial Killer.

The author writes in a way that made the book flow fairly smooth, making it an easy read.

Another five star

This is a very informative book. Written well. It's a very in depth look into prosititues and how they can become a easy target for serial killers. aka street walkers, they will be less likely reported missing so it is easy for a serial killer to kidnap them and kill them. Very good read. Must read for all true crime fans.

Great book

Great book about Serial Killers who target prostitutes and one prostitute who was a serial killer. Great book that I really enjoyed

Serial Killers and Prostitutes

A interesting, if depressing, read about the intersection of serial killers and prostitution. As someone who's intrigued by true crime, it was worth a read

waste of time

awful - it's no more than a summary of published newspaper stories that lacked any depth whatsoever to begin with
