description: "Such a man as Robert Berdella, torturous and dissecting young men through homosexual means. His story is sickening and his madness complicated enough that it gets to the root of your fears. Ryan Becker has captured the complexities of a dangerous mind. Very well written with a knowledge only a true crime writer can produce. For those who enjoy this genre, I can give it a thumbs up" <b>James Herington, reader</b><br /><br />"Yet another stunning work by Ryan Becker as he enters, once again, the minds of some of the most diabolical killers in recent history. Not pulling any punches when it comes to the gruesome details of the actions of Robert Berdella, Becker gives the grisly step by step account of how Berdella tortured and killed his victims, all leading up to a climactic end when he finally gets captured. A highly recommended book for the young and the old, new and experienced, it is easy to read and will not disappoint if you are into the macabre." <b>Calvin Lui, reader</b><br /><br />"This true story will hold you in the grips of the cover pages until you have read the entire story.
