Killing for Sport

Inside the Minds of Serial Killers

De: Pat Brown

Narrado por: Pat Brown

Movies such as The Silence of the Lambs, Seven, American Psycho, and many others have created myths about serial killers that need to be dispelled: If you think that most serial killers are eccentric, white, male intellectuals, then you had better explore Killing for Sport to learn the truth. While other profilers tend to conceal the clear facts behind complex technical language and psychobabble, investigator Pat Brown actually tells it like it is. With the same dark wit that gets people who work with the criminally insane through their workday, Brown speaks frankly about the monsters among us who kill for sport. In Killing for Sport, Brown provides an honest portrayal of the predator-next-door, how he hunts for his victims, why he likes to torture them, where he tends to stash their bodies, and more. The more our society is informed about these predators and what really goes on in their minds, the more equipped we will be to protect ourselves from them. This book offers the most valuable insight into the minds of serial killers you'll ever explore.
