About this title

Synopsis

The definitive study of one of the most appalling crimes know to man - serial sexual murder.

Robert K. Ressler, Special Agent with the FBI and the man who coined the term 'serial killer', here presents the most comprehensive account to date of the background, motivation and mental state of serial sexual killers.

Based on a study by the FBI's Behavioural Sciences Unit, using information from a wide variety of sources, and including extracts from interviews with some of America's worst criminals, this often shocking yet always authoritative book is a landmark in the study of sexual homicide.
