Synopsis
This book goes straight into the minds of six multiple murderers and examines their psyche and motivation. Noted anthropologist Eliot Leyton has performed a detailed study to find out what makes these people tick, and what drives them to commit these bloody crimes of rape, torture and murder.

From the Inside Flap
In this classic study, Elliott Leyton challenges the conventional idea of serial murderers as deranged madmen. He explores the twisted – but comprehensible – motives of a half-dozen notorious killers: Edmund Emil Kemper, Theodore Robert Bundy, Albert DeSalvo ("The Boston Strangler"), David Richard Berkowitz ("Son of Sam"), Mark James Robert Essex, and Charles Starkweather. In the process of describing their crimes Leyton exposes the cold rationality that underlies their apparent pointlessness. The result is startling: a revelatory text on a deeply troubling topic.

He holds research and faculty appointments in Ireland and England and is a past president of the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association.
