There are few serial killers quite as successful as Charles Sobhraj. Fluent in several languages, extremely intelligent, and known for his irresistible charms with women, Sobhraj lived a life of nonstop thievery, murder, drugs, and scandal. His unstoppable resourcefulness allowed him to escape authorities half a dozen times through luck, timing, and even what seems to be a strange sense of fate. His favorite means of getting what he wanted involved befriending his victims through faked favors and gifts only to eventually drug and loot, or sometimes murder, them. Known as the "Bikini Killer", a name given to him after he brutally drowned two women and left their bodies dressed in similar bikinis, Charles Sobhraj stretched his crimes across an entire continent and three separate countries. Along the way, he gathered to himself many loyal followers, amassing a sort of cult-like group of acolytes that helped him scam, murder, and steal from nearly everyone he met.

The complete story of Charles Sobhraj, the serial killer who inspired the hit Netflix series The Serpent. Charles Sobhraj remains one of the world's great conmen, and as a serial killer, the story of his life and capture endures as legend. Born in Vietnam to a Vietnamese mother and Indian father, Sobhraj grew up deprived of a sense of identity, moving to France before being imprisoned and stripped of his multiple nationalities. Driven to floating from country to country, continent to continent, he became the consummate con artist, stealing passports, smuggling drugs and guns across Asia, busting out of prisons and robbing wealthy associates. But as his situation grew more perilous, he turned to murder, preying on Western tourists dropping out across the 1970s "hippie trail," leaving dead bodies and gruesome crime scenes in his wake, triggering an international manhunt that put him at the top of INTERPOL's most wanted list. On the Trail of the Serpent draws its readers into the story of Sobhraj's life as told exclusively to journalists Richard Neville and Julie Clarke by the investigators, families of the victims, and even Sobhraj himself. Blurring the boundaries between true crime and novelization, this remains the definitive book about Sobhraj--a riveting tale of sex, drugs, adventure, and murder.

New York Times Bestseller: This in-depth account of Charles Sobhraj, the serial killer portrayed in Netflix miniseries The Serpent, is “compulsive reading” (The Plain Dealer). There was no pattern to the murders, no common thread other than the fact that the victims were all vacationers, robbed of their possessions and slain in seemingly random crimes. Authorities across three continents and a dozen nations had no idea they were all looking for same man: Charles Sobhraj, aka “The Serpent.” A handsome Frenchman of Vietnamese and Indian origin, Sobhraj targeted backpackers on the “hippie trail” between Europe and South Asia. A master of deception, he used his powerful intellect and considerable sex appeal to lure naïve travelers into a life of crime. When they threatened to turn on him, Sobhraj murdered his acolytes in cold blood. Between late 1975 and early 1976, a dozen corpses were found everywhere from the boulevards of Paris to the slopes of the Himalayas to the back alleys of Bangkok and Hong Kong. Some police experts believe the true number of Sobhraj’s victims may be more than twice that amount. Serpentine is the “grotesque, baffling, and hypnotic” true story of one of the most bizarre killing sprees in modern history (San Francisco Chronicle). Edgar Award–winning author Thomas Thompson’s mesmerizing portrait of a notorious sociopath and his helpless prey “unravels like fiction, but afterwards haunts the reader like the document it is” (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland).

Hawk and Hyena is the remarkable, true story of serial killer Charles Sobhraj. Written by novelist, television executive and screen writer Farrukh Dhondy, Hawk and Hyena adds radical and revealing new information to the story recently portrayed in the worldwide hit BBC One/Netflix television series The Serpent. Farrukh Dhondy knew serial killer Charles Sobhraj very well. He still does. Dhondy tracked his movements across the world over years. He was continuously in contact with him. From Paris to London, Kathmandu to India, London to Nepal, this remarkable true story now exposes the truth behind the killer world of the infamous Charles Sobhraj, his many women, his murders, and his mercilessly cruel participation in world events - and television mogul Farrukh Dhondy's fascination with a serial killer's degraded and violent life. In 1997 Dhondy's world, in his glass-walled office as Britain's Channel 4 Commissioning Editor, suddenly exploded into the world history of the last 30 years when Sobhraj phoned him from Paris. Characters in this true-life story include Boris Johnson, then editor of The Spectator, prime minister Tony Blair, the CIA and MI6 - among many others. The most sensational events described include: Sobhraj's attempt to help develop the weapons of mass destruction with which Tony Blair sought to justify the Iraq war; Sobhraj's knowledge of the terrorist bombing of Mumbai; his betrayal of his terrorist bomber friend Masood; his close contact with the CIA; his prison escapes, and his choice of decades of incarceration in prison to avoid execution. Eye-opening in its totally realistic surfaces, this incredible true story is at the intersection of life and death, crime and punishment, sex and killing. The events described are hard to believe - even when we know that they are true. Dhondy unjudgmentally depicts Sobhraj's completely merciless killing of scores of innocent people with bleak astonishment. Farrukh Dhondy is at the centre of British cultural life. The author of Tandoori Nights, a Marxist, a friend of the great and the good, his curious and extraordinary surveillance of serial killer Charles Sobhraj takes him to the very limits of morality, political extremism, international intrigue, terrorism and world politics - in short, the hidden deceptions of international diplomacy. But this is not just international diplomacy, it is international diplomacy underpinned by serial killing. You will not believe what you read - but it's true.
