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 \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e Peter Conradi reveals how the grandfather and former teacher carried out a horrific twelve-year killing spree right under the nose of authority.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A chilling look into the deranged mind of a monster, \u003ci\u003eThe Red Ripper \u003c\/i\u003eis a comprehensive and shocking true crime account—plus photos—of one of the twentieth century’s deadliest killers and the manhunt to catch him.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction by Colin Wilson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Four\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Five\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Six\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Seven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Eight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Nine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Ten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Eleven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Twelve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Thirteen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Fourteen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Fifteen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Sixteen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Seventeen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Eighteen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Nineteen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Twenty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChronology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52084978581847,"sku":"9781504040167","price":17.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781504040167.jpg?v=1762207800","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-red-ripper-inside-the-mind-of-russias-most-brutal-serial-killer-9781504040167","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
