What drives a man to kill another person, and another, then\nanother until he can no longer stop? Pulitzer Prize nominee Dr\nChristopher J Kurtz and co-author Robert D Hunter may have the\nanswer to this question. Through their correspondence with numerous\nconvicted killers, who have told of their compulsion to commit\nserial homicide, the authors have gained a unique insight into the\nlives of these individuals and explore in disturbing detail the\nhomicidal manifestations of a number of mental afflictions. Their\nconclusions make for frightening reading, but Kurtz and Hunter\nargue that we must delve deeply into the world of evil and the\nirrational if we are ever to understand the serial killer and his\nmotives. Dark Truths not only provides an in-depth study of the\nterrifying obsessions of serial killers and rapists, but it is also\na compelling study of alienation and psychosis that lurk just\nbeneath the surface of modern society.
