The shocking true story of the Russian serial killer who brutally
murdered more than fifty victims—and evaded capture for over a
decade. 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 right under the nose of
authority.  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 search
that turned up many dead ends and false convictions before a
massive undercover surveillance effort ultimately nabbed Chikatilo.
 A chilling look into the deranged mind of a monster, The
Red Ripper is a comprehensive and shocking true crime
account—plus photos—of one of the twentieth century’s
deadliest killers and the manhunt to catch him. Â
