By the turn of the century, the last frontier was over and America was moving from a rural to an urban society. America was replaced by uncaring cities and industry, where transients walked the streets looking for any kind of work. This society, a place where residents knew nothing about one another, killers were going undetected.
This was the case of H.H. Holmes. Holmes appeared to be anything but the devil with his dashing goods looks and gentleman's attire. He was also a shrewd business man, a con artist, and the most organized of all serial killers known throughout history.

I read about this nut several years ago. With his creepy death trap hotel and long line of murders, I'm surprised he's not more famous.
