About this title

From Library Journal:

In 1983, Dennis Nilsen, a London civil servant, confessed to the murders of 15 young men over a four-year period. A homosexual and a loner, he usually met his victims in bars, invited them to his flat, and strangled them there. Masters, who has not previously written about crime, has produced an objective, in-depth portrait of this serial killer. A number of recent books have attempted to plumb the murderer's mind; it is a highly speculative undertaking, but in this case, the author's extensive research combined with Nilsen's full cooperation results in a perceptive study. Although the bare facts of the crimes are quite unpleasant, Master's tone is restrained. Recommended for crime and abnormal psychology collections. Gregor A. Preston, Univ. of California Lib., Davis
