Dr. Thomas Neill Cream’s killing spree spanned the United States, Britain, and Canada, with poison as his weapon of choice. Author Dean Jobb transports readers to the late nineteenth century as Dr. Cream’s crimes marked the emergence of a new breed of killer: one who operated without motive or remorse, who “murdered simply for the sake of murder.” For fans of Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City or the podcast My Favorite Murder, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream is an unforgettable true crime story.
