RedHanded: An Exploration of Criminals, Cannibals, Cults, and What Makes a Killer Tick

What is it about killers, cults, and cannibals that capture our imaginations even as they terrify and disturb us? Why do we find these horrible stories so endlessly compelling? Based off Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala's popular podcast of the same name, RedHanded explores real-life true crime cases to help answer once and for all if a killer is born or made. Rejecting the narrative of killers as monsters and that a victim “was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” this book instead dissects the stories of killers in a way that challenges our perceptions about society, gender, poverty, culture, and politics.
