Dangerous Ground by William M Phelps

Dangerous Ground by William M Phelps

In September 2011, M. William Phelps made a bold decision that would change the landscape of reality-based television-and his own life. He asked a convicted serial killer to act as a consultant for his TV series. Under the code name Raven, the murderer shared his insights into the minds of other killers and helped analyze their crimes. As the series became an international sensation, Raven became Phelps's unlikely confidante, ally-and friend. In this deeply personal account, Phelps traces his own family's dark history, and takes us into the heart and soul of a serial murderer. He also chronicles the complex relationship he developed with Raven. From questions about morality to Raven's thoughts on the still-unsolved, brutal murder of Phelps's sister-in-law, the author found himself grappling with an unwanted, unexpected, unsettling connection with a cold-blooded killer. Drawing on over 7,000 pages of letters, dozens of hours of recorded conversations, personal and Skype visits, and a friendship five years in the making, Phelps sheds new light on Raven's bloody history, including details of an unknown victim, the location of a still-buried body-and a jaw-dropping admission.

M.D., a bestselling investigative journalist and serial killer expert, has written for the New York Times. William Phelps has been on over 100 television shows and is the author of thirty-one nonfiction books. He is one of the stars of Deadly Women and Oxygen's Snapped, Killer Couples, and KillerPost. He created, produced, and starred in the series Dark Minds. He's been dubbed the nation's preeminent authority on the psychology of the female murderer by Radio America. Phelps is able to access the hearts and minds of his subjects like no one else, having been touched by tragedy himself through the unsolved death of his sister-in-law. He resides in a agricultural town in Connecticut and may be reached at www.mwilliamphelps.com.
