By Jack Hunter

H.H. Holmes: The Twisted True Crime Story of America's First Serial Killer and His Murder Castle by Jack Hunter unravels the chilling tale of a man whose name became synonymous with deception, cruelty, and death.

Operating under multiple aliases, H.H. Holmes was a master manipulator, con artist, and cold-blooded killer. During the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, he constructed a labyrinthine hotel-later known as the "Murder Castle"-designed to trap, torture, and kill his unsuspecting victims. Complete with soundproof rooms, hidden passageways, and deadly chutes, Holmes' castle became the site of his horrifying crimes.

This book explores the mind of a man who charmed his way through life while leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. From his fraudulent schemes to his gruesome murders, Holmes' story remains one of the most terrifying in true crime history. Through historical records, firsthand accounts, and expert analysis, this gripping biography examines how America's first known serial killer managed to evade justice for so long-and how his reign of terror finally came to an end.
