The unputdownable true crime story about a killer who preyed on children but was not much older than his victims.

When fourteen-year-old Jesse Pomeroy was arrested in 1874, Boston's nightmarish reign of terror came to an end. Called the "Boston Boy Fiend," he was finally safely behind bars. But questions remained about how and why a teenager could commit such heinous crimes.

Acclaimed true crime writer Harold Schechter brings his brilliant insight and fascinating historical documentation to this unforgettable exploration of one of America's youngest serial killers.
