When nurse Charlie Cullen was arrested in 2003, journalists were quick to dub him "The Angel of Death." But Cullen was neither a mercy killer nor a simple monster. He was a son, a husband, a father, a best friend, and a valued caregiver. He was also implicated in the deaths of as many as 400 people, and may be the most prolific serial killer in American history.Cullen's career in the world's most trusted profession spanned sixteen years, across nine hospitals.

In this episode we talk to New York Times Best selling author Charles Graeber about why he chose to write The Good Nurse, his 6 year long research into the case, and how he got to talk to Charles Cullen. We also discus similar "Angel Of Death" true crime scenarios, how 'The Good Nurse,' may affect medical malpractice cases, and much more! Charles Graeber is a contributing editor for Wired and a contributor to publications such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, GQ, Vogue, and many others. He has received many awards, and his work has been featured on NPR, CNN, the BBC, and numerous other media outlets.
