Nobody on his street felt a tug in the gut. Not one of them ever thought, that man is dangerous. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe killed ten people in their own homes. He wrote letters to the police. He sent in poems. He gave himself a name, three letters, \u003cb\u003eBTK\u003c\/b\u003e, like a brand. After thirteen years of careful silence, he walked back into the light and personally handed the investigators the thread that would lead them to his front door. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat kind of mind does that? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is not a list of crimes. The crimes are the easy part. This is the slow, uncomfortable autopsy of a man who built a maze around himself for half a century, who had a Lutheran wife and two children who loved him, who carried a working bag of rope in the boot of his car, and who, when the handcuffs finally clicked shut, looked at the detective through the open window of his compliance truck and said hi. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy did he do it. Why did he stop. Why did he come back. And why, in the small private theatre of his own head, did he believe to the very end that the city he terrorised was his loyal audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy the last page, you will know how to spot the man behind the polo shirt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe next one may already be on your street. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraigBeck.com\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892598980759,"sku":"9798196751493","price":1666.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798196751493.webp?v=1781187650","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/btk-decoded-the-dark-psychology-of-dennis-rader-the-serial-killer-next-door-9798196751493","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
