The most dangerous killer is the one you know
Contrary to popular belief, most murders aren't committed by random criminals. The real horror is that the greatest danger is often right next to us - the people we trust most. The Killer You Know reveals how friendship, love and close relationships can turn to hatred, betrayal and ultimately - murder.
