　　A riveting true crime story that vividly recounts the birth of

modern forensics.

At the end of the nineteenth century, serial murderer Joseph

Vacher, known and feared as “The Killer of Little Shepherds,”

terrorized the French countryside. He eluded authorities for

years—until he ran up against prosecutor Emile Fourquet and Dr.

Alexandre Lacassagne, the era’s most renowned criminologist. The

two men—intelligent and bold—typified the Belle ?poque, a period of

immense scientific achievement and fascination with science’s

promise to reveal the secrets of the human condition.

With high drama and stunning detail, Douglas Starr revisits

Vacher’s infamous crime wave, interweaving the story of how

Lacassagne and his colleagues were developing forensic science as

we know it. We see one of the earliest uses of criminal profiling,

as Fourquet painstakingly collects eyewitness accounts and

constructs a map of Vacher’s crimes. We follow the tense and

exciting events leading to the murderer’s arrest. And we witness

the twists and turns of the trial, celebrated in its day. In an

attempt to disprove Vacher’s defense by reason of insanity,

Fourquet recruits Lacassagne, who in the previous decades had

revolutionized criminal science by refining the use of

blood-spatter evidence, systematizing the autopsy, and doing

groundbreaking research in psychology. Lacassagne’s efforts lead to

a gripping courtroom denouement.

The Killer of Little Shepherds is an important contribution to

the history of criminal justice, impressively researched and

thrillingly told.
