The killer department (1993)

258 pages 4.0/5 Goodreads

The spellbinding true tale of the discovery, chase, capture, and execution of Andrei Chikatilo, a serial killing madman who sexually assaulted, mutilated, and killed at least 53 women and children near Rostov-on-Don, Russia, between 1978 and 1986. The story is told by Colonel Vicktor Burakov, Soviet Militia, a brilliant, tenacious investigator who would be the very last man I'd want pursuing me for a crime I committed. This story, by Robert Cullen, was made into the HBO movie *Citizen X*.
