Review:
Signature Killers is a peculiar yet valuable book--repetitious, brilliant, turgid, passionate, and indispensable for understanding serial killers. Those who persevere through the prolix writing style will be rewarded by compelling insights into the psychological needs, and evolution over time, of a specific type of murderer, one whose key characteristic is not so much that he kills multiple people, but that he leaves a signature behind at every crime scene. Robert Keppel knows what he's talking about: He's been involved in more than 2,000 murder investigations, including 50 high-profile serial cases. The topics he covers in exhaustive and harrowing detail (Signature Killers is not for the faint of heart) include "the essence of torture," "the anger-retaliation signature," "the picquerism signature," "the psychological imprint of a sadist," "the retaliation-to-excitation continuum," and why Jeffrey Dahmer is "the black hole at the end of the continuum."
About the Author:
Robert D. Keppel is the chief criminal investigator for the Washington State Attorney General's Office. He has a Ph.D in criminal justice from the University of Washington and has been an investigator or consultant to more than two thousand murder cases and more than fifty serial murder investigations, including the Atlanta child murders and the Green River murders. With William J. Birnes, he is coauthor of The Riverman: Ted Bundy and I Hunt for the Green River Killer, published by Pocket Books.
