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.

This book comes out as very well researched and gives an in depth look into the life and awful killing made by Andrej Romanovitj Tjikatilo.

The book gives very gory details about the awful killings, rapes and dismemberments done by Andrej Romanovitj Tjikatilo therefore this book is definitely not for the faint of heart.

The narrator of this book is really hard to listen to. Between his accent and the tone of his voice made it really hard to get through this book.
