"Scott Selby's recreation of the hunt for the wartime S-Bahn Murderer meticulously recreates one of the most horrific but fascinating murder investigations of twentieth century Germany."--Paul French, Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China "[A] gripping true account of a World War II serial killer. Onboard an electrified speeding train in Nazi Berlin, Scott Andrew Selby reveals an equally electrifying story of the railroad employee who could not stop murdering."--Robert Graysmith, author of Zodiac, AutoFocus and Black Fire "[A] darkly fascinating book... It's a story of determined detective work by a police officer with a surprisingly clear sense of justice given his surroundings. And it's a story of the ways that killers rise and fall on multiple levels, one that still resonates decades later."--Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz-Age New York "In a chilling, fast-paced narrative full of shocking twists, this book reveals the true story of Paul Ogorzov, the S-Bahn Killer, and his crimes in compelling detail. This is a unique and riveting historical account of a lone predator hunting in the shadows of World War II Berlin."--Julian Rubinstein, author of Ballad of the Whiskey Robber: A True Story of Bank Heists, Ice Hockey, Transylvanian Pelt Smuggling, Moonlighting Detectives, and Broken Hearts "Scott Selby's true story is both intriguing and exciting - and made even more compelling because as the investigators search for a killer they are urged on by government officials committed to an official policy of mass murder."--Howard Blum, bestselling author of American Lightning and The Floor of Heaven, "Scott Selby's recreation of the hunt for the wartime S-Bahn Murderer meticulously recreates one of the most horrific but fascinating murder investigations of twentieth century Germany."-Paul French, Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China "[A] gripping true account of a World War II serial killer.
