Brian Masters

    Brian Masters is een Britse auteur die bekend staat om zijn diepgaande studies van de psychologie van massamoordenaars. Door nauwkeurig onderzoek naar hun daden probeert hij de duistere krochten van de menselijke geest te doorgronden en de motivaties achter extreem geweld te begrijpen. Zijn schrijfstijl wordt gekenmerkt door analytische diepgang en het vermogen om verontrustende portretten te schetsen van individuen die de ergste misdaden hebben begaan. Masters heeft zich ook verdiept in de Britse aristocratie, en zijn werk als vertaler onderstreept zijn literaire veelzijdigheid.

      SOON TO BE AN ITV DRAMA STARRING DAVID TENNANT ***WINNER OF THE GOLD DAGGER AWARD FOR CRIME NON-FICTION*** Dennis Nilsen, who died in May 2018, murdered at least 15 people before his arrest in 1983. This groundbreaking criminal study of his killings was written with Nilsen's full cooperation, resulting in a fascinating - and horrifying - portrait of the man who worshipped death. On February 9th 1983 Dennis Nilsen was arrested at his Muswell Hill home, after human remains had been identified as the cause of blocked drains. 'Are we talking about one body or two, ' a detective asked. Nilsen replied 'Fifteen or sixteen, since 1978. I'll tell you everything.' Within days he had confessed to fifteen gruesome murders over a period of four years. His victims, all young homosexual men, had never been missed. Brian Masters, with Nilsen's full cooperation, has produced a unique study of a murderer's mind, essential reading for true crime aficionados.
