The Killing Kind



National bestselling author M. William Phelps--star of Investigation Discovery's smash TV series Dark Minds and "one of America's finest true-crime writers" (Vincent Bugliosi)--once again proves himself the master of real-life thrillers in this shocking true tale of a twisted serial killer.

“One of America’s finest true-crime writers.”
—Vincent Bugliosi
 
Heather Catterton was a beautiful, beloved seventeen-year-old when her body was found in the brush by a country road in South Carolina. Sweet-natured Randi Saldana’s remains were then discovered, charred and unrecognizable, in a wooded area nearby. Bestselling investigative journalist M. William Phelps delves into the lives of Danny Hembree’s victims and reconstructs the twisting path from his horrifying crimes to his high-profile trial and conviction. Drawing on interviews with the killer himself, Phelps chillingly brings readers into the mind of a murderer.
 
“Fans of the author's Discovery TV series, Dark Minds, will be rewarded.”  
—Publishers Weekly
 
“Phelps is the Harlan Coben of real-life thrillers.”
—Allison Brennan
