Karin Slaughter is joined by Simon in her home city of Atlanta, Georgia. She introduces Simon to the case of Paul John Knowles, A.K.A. the ‘Casanova Killer'; a spree killer who terrorised the whole of the US, and who came within a few miles of Karin's family home. The arc and mythology of the ‘Casanova' character finds parallels in the male villains of many Karin Slaughter books. She explains that ‘Casanova' has been recycled into an adjective for a romantic ladies' man, when in actuality, Casanova himself was a kidnapper and a rapist, who bragged about drugging women before having his violent way with them. This is not a romantic character but a criminal; a predator bent on control. Along the journey of the episode, Simon and the audience learn how the real case of the ‘Casanova Killer'influenced Karin's writing of an historical crime novel, and provoked her to explore the motives of killers with a hatred of women.

Episode Name.... Sophie Hannah
Season.......... 2x06
Plot............ Sophie Hannah takes Simon to Nottingham to explore the murder of 16-year-old Collette Aram in 1983; an investigation which saw police interview over 20,000 people, and which became the first ever case to be featured on TV's "Crimewatch". The case left authorities scratching their heads for decades, until it was cracked open by DNA profiling in 2009, when the killer's son who hadn't even been born at the time of the crime was arrested for a driving offense. It is an example of the real murder mysteries that fascinate Sophie and inform her writing; how they can leave entire communities guessing and fearing the worst
