Note publique d'information : "A gripping tour de force of investigative journalism that takes us deep into the
investigation behind one of the most frightening and enigmatic serial killers in modern
American history, and into the ranks of a singular American police force: the Anchorage
PD Most of us have never heard of Israel Keyes. But he is one of the most ambitious,
meticulous serial killers of modern time. The FBI considered his behavior unprecedented.
Described by a prosecutor as "a force of pure evil," he was a predator who struck
all over the United States. He buried "kill kits"--cash, weapons, and body-disposal
tools--in remote locations across the country and over the course of fourteen years,
would fly to a city, rent a car, and drive thousands of miles in order to use his
kits. He would break into a stranger's house, abduct his victims in broad daylight,
and kill and dispose of them in mere hours. And then he would return home, resuming
life as a quiet, reliable construction worker devoted to his only daughter. When
journalist Maureen Callahan first heard about Israel Keyes in 2012, she was captivated
by how a killer of this magnitude could go undetected by law enforcement for over
a decade. And so began a project that consumed her for the next several years--uncovering
the true story behind how the FBI ultimately caught Israel Keyes, and trying to understand
what it means for a killer like Keyes to exist. A killer who left a path of monstrous,
randomly committed crimes in his wake--many of which remain unsolved to this day.
American Predator is the ambitious culmination of years of on-the-ground interviews
with key figures in law enforcement and in Keyes's life, and research uncovered from
classified FBI files. Callahan takes us on a journey into the chilling, nightmarish
mind of a relentless killer, and the limitations of traditional law enforcement, in
one of America's most isolated environments--Alaska--when faced with a killer who
defies all expectation and categorization"--
