Hardcover, FINE/FINE, xvi, 336p. + 16p. photos, A story of criminal homicide. It is extremely rare for a murderer to talk about himself as frankly and as exhaustively as Nilsen has; his prison archive is an unprecedented document in the history of criminal homicide. Masters has made discriminating use of this unusual co-operation and articulacy, corroborating the murderer's memory and retrospection by researches into outside sources, to produce a document as illuminating as it is chilling.
