Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
The cases for this book were chosen from a master list of murderers who stretched the psychic envelope of recreational murder. Their considerable victim tallies give them the dubious distinction of being elites in the league of serial killers.

Description
For fans of true crime, this fourth entry in the Profiles in Crime series presents history's most 'elite' serial killers - master murderers who stretched the psychic envelope and racked up the largest number of victims.
Historical in scope and international in breadth, this collection of true-crime stories chronicles fifteen of the most infamous 'extreme killers' who ever lived - those with the largest number of confirmed kills, in many cases more than fifty.
The subjects range from 15th-century French child killer Gilles de Rais, purportedly the model for the folk legend of 'Bluebeard,' to Henry Lee Lucas and Otis Toole, who inspired the film Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
The book also features Samuel Little, America's most prolific serial killer with sixty confirmed and ninety-three claimed murders, and Mikhail Popkov, dubbed 'The Werewolf' by Russian media for having slain more than seventy women between 1992 and 2010.
