The Medical Mystery of Tarrare, a Cannibalistic French Spy

The walking manifestation of one of the seven deadly sins prowled the cobbled streets of 18th-century Paris, seeking only to indulge his endless hunger. Earlier in life, his dietary needs started out robustly, but were otherwise innocuous. However, things would soon take a sinister turn so far as this overzealous diner was concerned.

He was once even suspected of kidnapping and devouring a toddler.
