A Serial Killer in Nazi Paris unearths the shocking story of Dr. Marcel Petiot, a respected French doctor and town mayor—who was also a violent psychopath. During World War II, as Nazi forces spread fear and paranoia across France, Petiot preys on those most desperate to escape—Jews, partisans, and criminals. Posing as a Resistance operative, he creates a fictional “escape network,” offering passage to South America. Yet there is no network. Instead, Petiot lures his victims to a secret location in Paris, murders them, steals their valuables, and disposes of their remains in the Seine. Soon, he is hunted by both the Gestapo - who believe he is a real Resistance member - and the French police.
