    In 1974, Dennis Lynn Rader stalked and murdered a family of four in Wichita, Kansas. Soon after killing the family, he murdered a young woman and then another, until he had ten victims. Katherine Ramsland worked with Rader himself to analyze the layers of his psyche. Using his drawings, letters, interviews, and Rader's unique codes, she presents in meticulous detail the childhood roots and development of one man's motivation to stalk, torture, and kill.
