From R. Barri Flowers, award winning criminologist and internationally bestselling author of THE SEX SLAVE MURDERS, comes a gripping new true crime audio short, KILLERS OF THE LONELY HEARTS: The Story of Serial Killers Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck.

In this gripping tale of sex, jealousy, con artists, and murder, the author gets to the root of the violent crimes perpetrated by 1940s serial killers Fernandez and Beck, who preyed on lonely women through personal ads, stealing from and murdering, before the ultimate justice was served on the killer lovers.

As a bonus, included is a complete true crime short, THE SINFUL KILLERS, about serial killers James Gregory Marlow and Cynthia Coffman, who murdered at least five people over three states in 1986, including four women, targeted for abduction, sexual assault, and robbery.

An added bonus is excerpts from R. Barri Flowers bestselling true crime shorts, MASS MURDER IN THE SKY, in which an airliner is brought down over Denver by dynamite, and MURDER AT THE PENCIL FACTORY, chronicling the century old murder of young Mary Phagan and the lynching of her purported killer Leo Frank.

KILLERS OF THE LONELY HEARTS is available from Audible, Audible UK and Amazon.
