520    New York Times Bestseller: The nightmare odyssey of a 
       charismatic serial killer and a trail of terror stretching
       halfway around the world. There was no pattern to the 
       murders, no common thread other than the fact that the 
       victims were all vacationers, robbed of their possessions 
       and slain in seemingly random crimes. Authorities across 
       three continents and a dozen nations had no idea they were
       all looking for same man: Charles Sobhraj, aka "The 
       Serpent." A handsome Frenchman of Vietnamese and Indian 
       origin, Sobhraj targeted backpackers on the "hippie trail"
       between Europe and South Asia. A master of deception, he 
       used his powerful intellect and considerable sex appeal to
       lure naïve travelers into a life of crime. When they 
       threatened to turn on him, Sobhraj murdered his acolytes 
       in cold blood. Between late 1975 and early 1976, a dozen 
       corpses were found everywhere from the boulevards of Paris
       to the slopes of the Himalayas to the back alleys of 
       Bangkok and Hong Kong. Some police experts believe the 
       true number of Sobhraj's victims may be more than twice 
       that amount. Serpentine is the "grotesque, baffling, and 
       hypnotic" true story of one of the most bizarre killing 
       sprees in modern history (San Francisco Chronicle). Edgar 
       Award--winning author Thomas Thompson's mesmerizing 
       portrait of a notorious sociopath and his helpless prey 
       "unravels like fiction, but afterwards haunts the reader 
       like the document it is" (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland).
