A good book but rather horrifying
This book obviously deals in murder and the descriptions of the victim's condition disturbed me a lot. But when it comes to the psychological profiling of the criminals, it is excellent. I bought this book because in 1996 i had read an article in Reader's Digest called "Stalking Evil". It was so well written that i bought this book. To make things short, i'd say you should buy it if you can tolerate some explicit description of the victims.
