I got interested in Keppel by reading of him working with Bundy to catch Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, but this book reads too much like a textbook.
Libro sconvolgente in 10 capitoli. Dopo il primo introduttivo, vengono poi descritti uno a uno i più efferati (e pazzi) signature killers (Jeffrey Damer, solo per citare il più recente) con il loro modus operandi e la loro firma. Si tratta di capitoli sconvolgenti. L'ultimo capitolo abbozza un'analisi interessantissima sui motivi che creano nella società moderna americana questi mostri, con osservazioni applicabili anche all'europa attuale (mancanza della famiglia e televisione in primis). Se siete donne da leggere di fianco al proprio partner!
