Behind the headlines and sensationalism of every murder, I believe there are stories far more complex than mere criminality. We begin in this book uncovering the intricate web of experiences, traumas, and psychological struggles that led David Berkowitz down a path of violence. From his troubled upbringing to his twisted beliefs, you will get to learn the untold factors that converged to create a murderer who has forever altered the fabric of today's American society approach to crime.
This is not a glorification of evil, nor is it an attempt to excuse or rationalize the actions of the convict. Instead, it is an exploration of the darkest corners of the human mind, a journey into the heart of a twisted soul that most cannot comprehend through meticulous research, interviews, and a careful examination of his heinous acts, killing patterns, victims, cryptic letters, witnesses, and confession.
