All That Is Wicked: The 'Victorian Hannibal Lecter' And The Race To Decode The Criminal Mind
Step into the chilling world of Edward Rulloff, a serial murderer whose intelligence and cunning baffled 19th-century investigators. In this masterfully crafted narrative, Kate Winkler Dawson delves into a tale that intertwines crime, psychology, and the relentless pursuit of understanding evil.
Rulloff was more than just a killer; he was likened to a Victorian-era Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant but utterly amoral figure who eluded capture for decades. Once apprehended in 1871, he became a subject of intense study by a diverse cast of 19th-century mindhunters eager to unlock the secrets of his psyche. From alienists to neurologists and phrenologists, each one believed they held the key to deciphering whether evil is inherent or cultivated. This was a groundbreaking exploration into the criminal mind long before the term serial killer was even in existence.
Kate Winkler Dawson builds upon her acclaimed podcast, Tenfold More Wicked, presenting a riveting story supported by hundreds of source materials and previously undisclosed historical documents. This immersive journey not only sheds light on Rulloff’s dark legacy but also reveals the pioneering scientists whose work laid the groundwork for modern criminal justice. For true crime enthusiasts, this book is a treasure trove of insights and a gripping read that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
