A familiar face.
An unthinkable theory.

Meet Edward Wayne Edwards, the convicted killer at the center of a far wider and fiercely disputed theory.

In a case-by-case analysis, former detective John A. Cameron argues that Edwards was responsible not only for the five murders he confessed to, but for dozens more across the United States over decades.

Drawing on interviews, phone calls, letters and years of research, Cameron follows Edwards from a troubled childhood to life as a fugitive, a supposed reformed-criminal author, and finally his arrest and confession.

Every stop on the map left another question behind.

One man behind them all?

The theories advanced in John A. Cameron’s book suggest that Edward Wayne Edwards may have reached into some of the most infamous crimes in American history, killing victims, taunting investigators, and sometimes allowing others to take the blame.

Could the theories be true? The book argues these connections through Cameron’s research and case analysis. They are widely accepted by many followers of Cameron’s work and vehemently disputed by others.
