Описание: The definitive story of the Dennis Nilsen case featured in BBCs The Nilsen Tapes, and the book behind ITVs Des, starring David Tennant***WINNER OF THE GOLD DAGGER AWARD FOR CRIME NON-FICTION and THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER***__________________Dennis Nilsen, who died in May 2018, admitted to killing at least 15 people before his arrest in 1983. This ground-breaking criminal study of his killings was written with Nilsens full cooperation, resulting in a fascinating - and horrifying - portrait of the man who worshipped death. In February 1983, residents of Muswell Hill had been plagued by blocked drains.

When a plumber was called to investigate, he discovered a large blockage of biological material. To his horror, it appeared to be formed of human flesh and bones. The next day, local resident Dennis Nilsen was arrested.

Are we talking about one body or two? a detective asked. Nilsen replied Fifteen or sixteen, since 1978. Ill tell you everything. Within days he had confessed to fifteen gruesome murders over a period of four years.

His victims, mostly young gay men at a time when society cared little for them, had been overlooked. Killing for Company is a unique study of a murderers mind, essential reading for true crime aficionados. __________________You really have to read this extraordinary book to get a full flavour of the weirdness of Nilsen and his crimes SUNDAY TIMESA seminal look into the criminal mind DAILY MAILBrian Masters has given us a full, well-ordered, dispassionate account of Nilsens life and crimes THE TIMESWithout any doubt one of the most remarkable, complete and most humanely informative accounts of a murderers mind ever achieved...
