Emily Craig has been a witness to history, helping to seek justice for thousands of murder victims, both famous and unknown. It’s a personal story that you won’t soon forget. Emily first became intrigued by forensics work when, as a respected medical illustrator, she was called in by the local police to create a model of a murder victim’s face. Her fascination with that case led to a dramatic midlife career change: She would go back to school to become a forensic anthropologist - and one of the most respected and best-known “bone hunters” in the nation.

Their names echo through true crime history like dark legends: John Wayne Gacy, the Zodiac Killer, Richard Ramirez, Aileen Wuornos, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and the Golden State Killer. Their infamous deeds have been exhaustively chronicled across every medium imaginable. But beyond these household names lies a shadow world of equally chilling cases that rarely make headlines or streaming television documentaries.

How does a man shake the hand of the First Lady of the United States in May, then drive home and bury a teenage boy under his linen cupboard before midnight? How does a Polish picnic organiser, a precinct captain, a children's hospital clown, run twenty seven young men into the dirt beneath his own kitchen floor across six straight years on a quiet suburban street, while his neighbours bring round Christmas hampers and the postman calls him by his first name?

In the early 1980s, a series of quiet, targeted killings spread through a criminal underworld. The dead were not innocent. There were men already living outside the law, and their disappearances passed largely unnoticed. For years, the murders attracted little scrutiny. Then forensic evidence began to surface, revealing a pattern that could no longer be ignored. At the centre of it was Werner Pinzner, known as "Mucki." He operated efficiently within a system designed to protect those who ordered the killings and those who carried them out.

Some of them hid behind a name that wasn't theirs. Others hid behind a uniform, a reputation, a famous last name, or a job so ordinary no one thought to look twice. The twelve cases in this volume share one unsettling thread: the distance between who these people appeared to be and what they did when they were certain no one was watching. A few held that distance open for years. Some held it for decades. One died before anyone ever closed it.

We tell ourselves we would know. That a killer would carry some visible mark, and that the people we trust could never be capable of the unthinkable. But the most chilling crimes are committed by the husband across the breakfast table, the coworker closing the shop, the polished stranger who remembers your children's names. This collection moves through quiet suburbs, small towns, and faraway cities to reconstruct thirty-six cases where evil wore an ordinary face.

For decades, a father in the Bay Area made his living taking people’s portraits, but he harbored a monstrous secret.
