Publisher Description
The judge who led the case against Britain's most prolific serial killer, Dr Harold Shipman, speculated that his horrific crimes were intrinsically linked to his addictive personality. According to Dame Janet Smith, it is possible that drug-addict Shipman had such a morbid compulsion to kill that he simply could not stop. Shipman is not alone, however. Read about insane murderers such as Richard Trent Chase - the vampire of Sacramento, Andrei Chikatilo and Pedro Alonso Lopez in Serial Killers:Compulsion to Kill along with many other spine-chilling accounts of the world's most evil mad maniacs.

Customer Reviews
Great!
Im fascinated by the mind of serial killers and this book did not disappoint!! I will read more from this author.
kinda racist but pretty informative
i like how much information you can get from this book, it explains a lot about the upbringing of the killer, which i really like. i just feel like there certain parts of the book that show the political views of the author, like referring to native tribes in Peru as Indian, or stating that Islamic fundamentally excludes women from positions of power.
Confused
This book started out great; super interesting but once I got to the chapter about the killer in Russia, the dates are all wacky and make the story confusing. There's a lot of grammer/spelling mistakes, and date mix ups but overall the info was intriguing. However I must ask, did anyone actually edit this book before it was released?
