Dangerous Ground: My Friendship with a Serial Killer

Dangerous Ground: My Friendship with a Serial Killer

â€œAnyone can become a killer under the right circumstancesâ€”even you.â€
Â
For the first time, award-winning investigative journalist M. William Phelps reveals the identity of â€œRaven,â€ the serial killer who co-starred with him on Dark Mindsâ€”and tells the story of his intriguing bond with one of Americaâ€™s most disturbing killers.
Â
In September 2011, M. William Phelps made a bold decision that would change the landscape of reality-based televisionâ€”and his own life.Â He asked a convicted serial killer to act as a consultant for his TV series. Under the code name â€œRaven,â€ the murderer shared his insights into the minds of other killers and helped analyze their crimes.Â As the series became an international sensation, Raven became Phelpsâ€™s unlikely confidante, allyâ€”and friend.
Â
â€œIâ€™m not making excuses for the eight murders I committed.â€
Â
In this deeply personal account, Phelps traces his own familyâ€™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 Ravenâ€™s thoughts on the still-unsolved, brutal murder of Phelpsâ€™s sister-in-law, the author found himself grappling with an unwanted, unexpected, unsettling connection with a cold-blooded killer.
Â
â€œIt made me feel warm inside to know that I was responsible for that pain . . .â€
Â
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 Ravenâ€™s bloody history, including details of an unknown victim, the location of a still-buried bodyâ€”and a jaw-dropping admission. Eye-opening and provocative, Dangerous Ground is an unforgettable journey into the mind of a charming, manipulative psychopath that few would dare to knowâ€”and the determined journalist who did just that.
