When it comes to true crime fiction, no one does it quite like M. William Phelps. Now he is bringing his investigative instincts and sharp storytelling style to a new TV series, Dark Minds, which premiered this week on Investigation Discovery. Phelps teamed up with criminal profiler John Kelly to revisit unsolved homicides believed to be the work of serial killers. Joining them in the hunt for answers is an unlikely and anonymous source: a convict serving multiplelife sentences for a series of murders. Known to audiences only as "13," this unique source offers his “expert” opinion about potential motivations behind these chilling cold cases, using his personal experience to formulate theories.
Check out the trailer from episode one below. For more about the series—plus nifty bonus features like quizzes, trivia, and a behind-the-scenes blog—visit Investigation Discovery. Learn more about Phelps's true crime fiction here and visit him on Facebook.
Until next time. . . .
