Jeffrey Dahmer: A Terrifying True Story of Rape, Murder & Cannibalism (The Serial Killer Books Book 1)

Few killers have drawn as much notice as Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. He murdered seventeen young men and boys, yet what sets him apart from other notorious offenders is the depravity he inflicted on the bodies of his victims. This true crime account traces how a withdrawn young man became a predator who hunted in Milwaukee through much of the 1980s before his arrest in 1991. It explains how his composed manner and intelligence let him slip past family, police, neighbors and the courts again and again. The book follows his life from a troubled teenager to the offender whose apartment held the remains of his crimes, and it covers his trial and the lasting effect on the city.
