London: Andre Deutsch, 1998. Hardcover. Good/Good. Fair/Good Jacket. Examines nine serial sex killers: John Christie, Ian Brady, Myra Hindley, Peter Sutcliffe, Dennis Nilsen, Robert Black, Colin Ireland and Fred and Rose West. In each case, the author examines what is known about his/her childhood and describes how that child was transformed into a murderer. In a thoughtful conclusion, she produces a model for the way in which an unloved and isolated child can morbidly transform a fantasy life linking sex and death into an adult career of appalling brutality. Both disturbing and compelling, this is the first serious attempt to compare and contrast the lives and crimes of British post-war serial killers.
