The Killer Department: Detective Viktor Burakov's eight-year Hunt for the Most Savage Serial Killer in Russian History - Hardcover
Synopsis
"Horrifying...It's a story you will not soon forget."
JOHN BARKHAM REVIEWS
Here is the chilling true story of the manhunt for the most frighteningly brutal serial killer of modern times--for the Russian Jeffrey Dahmer. As the killer stalked train stations for new young prey, Detective Viktor Burakov stalked him, while an archaic Soviet system put every obstacle in his way. Overwhelmed by the sheer horror of the killer's deeds and haunted by the spectres of the dead, Burakov broke the rules of Soviet police work: He secretly asked a psychiatrist to create a psychological profile of the killer, which allowed Burakov to get inside the mind of the world's most dangerous man....
Mesmerizing, shocking, and immediate, THE KILLER DEPARTMENT is one of the most authentic and riveting cases in the annals of true crime.

The Killer Department: Detective Viktor Burakov's eight-year Hunt for the Most Savage Serial Killer in Russian History by Robert CULLEN
La historia se desarrolla en los años 80, en los últimos años de la Unión Soviética, cuando el crimen violento no era reconocido oficialmente como un problema sistémico. La narrativa de Cullen muestra cómo el régimen comunista insistía en proyectar la imagen de una sociedad segura y moralmente superior, lo que resultó en la ocultación de información sobre asesinatos y violaciones.
