the trial of America's biggest serial killer

Kermit Gosnell is America's most prolific serial killer, but he was no obvious criminal. The abortion doctor was a pillar of his community, "an advocate for women's "reproductive health," and a respected member of Philadelphia's professional elite.

His accomplices in crime were a staff of dropouts, drug addicts and unlicensed medical professionals posing as doctors. Luckily, Detective Jim Wood, a narcotics detective, opened a drug case against Gosnell. What he found when he served his warrant left even the most grizzled members of the police force stunned
