ANGEL OF DEATH
UNCOVER THE DARKNESS OF NIGHTMARE NURSE, JANE TOPPAN
How many patients need to die under a nurse’s care to raise suspicions?
In 1895, elderly patients were quietly dying one by one, yet no one sounded the alarm – until an entirely family passed away. All had been in the care of nurse Jane Toppan and suspicions hit the roof.
Dilated pupils, feverish bodies, and erratic rambling left doctors baffled, but these weren’t the signs of illness. They were the marks of something far more sinister. Toppan manipulated her patients' dosages, watching them drift between life and death. For her, each fatal dose was not a crime, but a twisted act of mercy—a dark salvation from suffering.
Compelled by her own dark impulses, she transformed from a healer into a merciless killer, deeply relishing the power she wielded over life and death.
Angel of Death is a chilling account of Jane Toppan, who is one of America's most notorious female serial killers. This riveting narrative draws readers into the terrifying reality faced by her victims and unravels the chilling psychology behind her horrific choices.
"You can never go wrong with Ryan Green for a finely crafted, no-punches-pulled, comprehensive account of some of the worst individuals to ever blot the pages of history. I highly recommend this, and all his books, to any enthusiast of true crime literature."

"Ryan Green has done it again! His sophisticated, laid-back style of writing has given us true crime readers another good story that doesn’t sensationalize the crime. His insight into the setting and back story of the murders provides readers an understanding of how the mind of the perpetrator works."
