"Riveting, propulsive  —  destined to be a true crime classic." 

“Prepare to lose sleep. Prepare to skip meals. Maureen Callahan delivers a masterful telling of the monster who threatened a nation. Spellbinding and unforgettable.” 

—Adam Makos, New York Times bestselling author of Spearhead  

“American Predator is the scariest book I’ve ever read. Mark my words: This modern true crime classic will stand with the likes of Jeff Guinn’s Manson, Ann Rule’s The Stranger Beside Me, and Michelle McNamara’s I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.” 

—Susannah Cahalan, New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire

"Compelling . . . fascinating." 

—Kirkus

"A truly edge-of-your-seat page-turner .” 

—Booklist (starred review)

“Superb.”

—The Washington Post

“Investigative journalist Callahan provides a chilling true-crime narrative in this detailed study of Israel Keyes, whom she describes as ‘a new kind of monster, likely responsible for the greatest string of unsolved disappearances and murders in modern American history.’ . . . Through Callahan’s access to many of the key players in law enforcement, she has produced the definitive account of a terrifying psychopath.”
