In this fascinating, in-depth account of the hunt for serial
killers, Colin Wilson, one of the world's leading authorities on
the subject, examines the ways they can be tracked down and caught,
from the tried-and-true methods of the early 20th century to the
high-tech processes in use today. Wilson examines such areas as
psychological profiling, genetic fingerprinting, and the launch of
the Behavioural Science Unit. He delves into the importance of
fantasy to serial killers, the urge to keep on killing, the desire
to become notorious, and murder as an addictive drug. He includes
his own correspondence with serial killers and follows the career
of FBI Special Agent Robert Ressler, the man who coined the term
'serial killer' in 1977. Including the worst murderers in Britain
and America such as Peter Sutcliffe, Fred and Rosemary West,
Jeffrey Dahmer and Paul Bernardo, this book is an essential read
for true crime enthusiasts. It is for all of us morbidly fascinated
by these gruesome murders but especially by the techniques used to
bring those responsible to justice.
