Description
The Red Ripper: Inside the Mind of Russia's Most Brutal Serial Killer In 1992, Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo was finally brought to justice after a 12-year killing spree that claimed over 50 victims. This shocking true story reveals how he evaded capture for so long, despite being arrested in 1984 and initially suspected of the murders. Exclusive interviews with Moscow police detectives provide a chilling insight into the hunt for Chikatilo, who preyed on young children, prostitutes, and runaways. The book delves into the life of one of history's most prolific serial killers, exploring the elements of Soviet society that allowed his crimes to go unsolved for so long. With unprecedented access to trial transcripts and extensive research, journalist Peter Conradi sheds light on the deranged mind of a monster who left a trail of mutilated bodies in his wake.
