-Titulo Original : On The Trail Of The Serpent The Epic Hunt For The Bikini Killer
-Fabricante :
Penguin Books
-Descripcion Original:
The complete story of Charles Sobhraj, the serial killer who inspired the hit Netflix series The Serpent.Charles Sobhraj remains one of the worlds great conmen, and as a serial killer, the story of his life and capture endures as legend. Born in Vietnam to a Vietnamese mother and Indian father, Sobhraj grew up deprived of a sense of identity, moving to France before being imprisoned and stripped of his multiple nationalities. Driven to floating from country to country, continent to continent, he became the consummate con artist, stealing passports, smuggling drugs and guns across Asia, busting out of prisons and robbing wealthy associates. But as his situation grew more perilous, he turned to murder, preying on Western tourists dropping out across the 1970s hippie trail, leaving dead bodies and gruesome crime scenes in his wake, triggering an international manhunt that put him at the top of INTERPOLs most wanted list.On the Trail of the Serpent draws its readers into the story of Sobhrajs life as told exclusively to journalists Richard Neville and Julie Clarke by the investigators, families of the victims, and even Sobhraj himself. Blurring the boundaries between true crime and novelization, this remains the definitive book about Sobhraj--a riveting tale of sex, drugs, adventure, and murder.

He wore horn-rimmed glasses and carried a battered briefcase. Alain Benard, a lawyer, had been a corporate executive for fifteen years but looked more like an academic. Billboards of bronzed girls in bikinis smiled down on Benard as he jostled his way towards the Metro. It was nearing the time of year when millions of Parisians would leave the city for their annual summer holidays. Benard sidestepped an elderly man bent over a pile of magazines. The man was cutting the twine from the bundle and stacking the copies of Paris Match on the racks of the news stand. Benards eyes followed the recognizable bright red logo. Then, having glimpsed the cover photo, he froze. The dark eyes glowering from the familiar face had stopped him in his tracks. A cold, arrogant but handsome face. There was no mistake. It was Charles Sobhraj. The headline read Death Rides the Road to Kathmandu. Benard hurriedly bought a copy of the magazine, sat down at a pavement caf and contemplated the cover. Charles was pictured in a pose Benard knew well, one hand on his hip and the other on a table scattered with dollars. Next to Charles was a dark-haired young woman wearing sunglasses and leaning forward in a low-cut T-shirt. She looked more attractive than Benard remembered her.
