Synopsis
The specter of the marauding serial killer has become a relatively common feature on the American landscape. Reactions to these modern-day monsters range from revulsion to morbid fascination--fascination that is either fed by, or a product of, the saturation coverage provided by print and broadcast media, along with a dizzying array of books, documentary films, websites, and "Movies of the Week". The prevalence in Western culture of images of serial killers (and mass murderers) has created in the public mind a consensus view of what a serial killer is. Most people are aware, to some degree, of the classic serial killer 'profile.' But what if there is a much different 'profile'--one that has not received much media attention? In Programmed to Kill, acclaimed and always controversial author David McGowan takes a fresh look at the lives of many of America's most notorious accused murderers, focusing on the largely hidden patterns that suggest that there may be more to the average serial killer story than meets the eye. Think you know everything there is to know about serial killers? Or is it possible that sometimes what everyone 'knows' to be true isn't really true at all?, The specter of the marauding serial killer has become a relatively common feature on the American landscape.

    Stunning and shocking book that puts serial killers in a whole other light.

    Book traces the training or medical torture, depending on your view, of serial killers, some previously assassins and hitmen. Your view of gov't secret programs will be changed. You will follow the stories of horrible childhoods in multigenerational, dysfunctional families resulting in people affecting great horrors on communities. And you will question the results of detective work, both the quality and direction, that may have led to limited arrests and lack of due diligence. In other words, many cases went unsolved, others protected or ignored accomplices, and in many cases people in the community were complicit. Loved the book. Scared the bejusus out of me. Changed what I thought was happening in the world and why.

    David McGowan doesn't hold back at all in this book!

    WOW, just WOW!!! David McGowan goes so deep into the pedophile rings both in America as well as the UK! I never expected the book to be about anything other than serial killers and mind control but I was compelled by the book from the moment I started reading!! This book is definitely not for the faint if heart but if you've ever had in interests in mind control, serial killers, or the pedophile rings around the world, this is a MUST READ!!!

    Programmed to kill

    'PROGRAMMED TO KILL,' by the late Dave McGowan is a gut-wrenching, horrifying, and en-ragingly convincing read. It is very hard to understand how in the 21st century the news can be so full of serial murderers, killing sprees and cult-crimes but McGowan draws together a compelling case: Something systematic is going into the creation of sociopathic monsters. Before you finish reading this you will think that there may be a very deliberate and scientific effort behind such things as Columbine, numerous preschool scandals, and the Manson Family. Just one piece of advise; don't read it alone. Recommended.
