"The Will to Kill is unique in that it covers the topic from a perspective that is interesting to the casual true crime fan and yet is an invaluable resource to the serious professional who delves into the grisly world of murder."
-Col. Robert K. Ressler, professional criminologist
Through newscasts, current events, film and television, we are drawn irresistibly to the drama, mystery and intrigue of homicides, both real and invented. 
But why do people commit murder? And how is murder turned into a drama played out on the national stage? The authors of The Will to Kill answer these questions by describing the motivations at the center of a killer's mentality. 
Topics covered include:
 School shootings
 Intimate murders
 Serial killers
 Medical murder
 Rampage
 Hate crimes
 Workplace murder
 Terrorism
 Cult killings
 The justice system
