Serial Killers of the States: North Carolina - Where Southern Hospitality Meets Hostile Intent Volume II of the Serial Killers of the States Series Beneath North Carolina's front-porch smiles, rolling tobacco fields, and coastal hush lies a history far more unsettling than its postcard charm suggests. In Serial Killers of the States: North Carolina - Where Southern Hospitality Meets Hostile Intent, the second volume of the Serial Killers of the States series, readers are taken deep into the Tar Heel State's darkest crimes.

This volume goes beyond headlines, exploring how culture, geography, and social conditions shaped each killer's trajectory-and how communities often failed to see the danger hiding in plain sight.

Unflinching yet meticulously researched, this book confronts the disturbing reality that evil does not always announce itself. Sometimes, it offers you sweet tea and a smile. Perfect for true-crime enthusiasts, criminology readers, and fans of regional crime history, Serial Killers of the States: North Carolina is a chilling reminder that even the most welcoming places can harbor the deadliest secrets.
