First the voice whispered in his ear. Then he couldn't stop killing... It had happened before. On a sunny morning like any other in 1945, young William Heirens walked the halls of a Chicago apartment house, trying every door. When one opened, he entered... and someone died. The first time it had been a pretty widow. Next a single career girl. Then as innocent six year-old child. Each was a victim of a killer driven by an overpowering sexual frenzy - and a voice... a killer who left no clue other than a message scrawled in lipstick on the wall: "For heaven's sake, catch me before I kill more." Here is the complete, shocking true story: the bloody murders, the gruesome evicdence, the exciting captureof a killer whose confession portrays a bizarre case of split personality. One half of Heiren's life was spent as a pleasant college student, the other as "George Murman" - Murder Man - a fiend tormented by twisted desires. Now you can decide. Was "Murman" the creation of a man tragically insane... or a clever ruse of a diabolical brain? --- from book's back cover
