Summary
By the time he was brought to trial in 1992, Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo had killed more than fifty women and children, often sexually abusing them and leaving their bodies mutilated beyond recognition. Although he was initially arrested in 1984, the police lacked enough evidence to pin the unsolved murders on him and he was able to torture and kill dozens more before his eventual conviction. Compiling exclusive interviews and trial transcripts, journalist and editor at London's Sunday Times Peter Conradi reveals how the grandfather and former teacher carried out a horrific twelve-year killing spree.
Based on extensive research into Chikatilo's past and the elements of Soviet society that allowed his crimes to go unsolved for so long, Conradi delves into the life of one of history's most prolific and disturbing serial killers. Interviews with Moscow police detectives detail the fervent hunt for the man who preyed on young children, prostitutes, and runaways.
A chilling look into the deranged mind of a monster, The Red Ripper is a comprehensive and shocking true crime account of one of the twentieth century's deadliest killers.
Contains mature themes.

An incredible story
A brilliant account of the truly horrendous crimes. The narrator is fantastic, slipping in and out of Russian beautifully. Not a wasted word in the whole book. Fascinating from start to finish.

rushed
narrator is too fast, not captivating in the slightest and 8t comes across like he wants to finish the story and go home. The author has poor skill too, he often uses words that are grammatically incorrect like saying "on twenty five January Andrei did XXXXXX"
