Between 1974 and 1991, Dennis Lynn Rader murdered ten people in and around Wichita, Kansas. He became known as the BTK Killer, after initials written in the taunting letters that described the horrifying killings to police and local news outlets. The case stands out both for the brutality of the slayings and for the facade of normalcy that Rader, a local church council president and Scout volunteer, presented to the outside world. With exclusive access to the killer himself, prolific author and expert on extreme crimes Katherine Ramsland unlocks the secrets of Rader s cryptic writings and presents in gruesome detail one man s motivations to kill. Ramsland offers an intelligent, original, and rare glimpse into the making of a serial killer and the darkness that might live next door."
