WINNER OF THE GOLD DAGGER AWARD FOR CRIME NON-FICTION The definitive, Sunday Times bestselling true story of serial-killer Dennis Nilsen and the murders he committed, written with Nilsen's full cooperation. 'A seminal look into the criminal mind' Daily Mail 'An important book which screams to be read' New Statesman Before his arrest in 1983, Dennis Nilsen admitted to killing at least 15 people. This ground-breaking 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. In February 1983, residents of Muswell Hill had been plagued by blocked drains. When a plumber was called to investigate, he discovered a large blockage of biological material. To his horror, it appeared to be formed of human flesh and bones. The next day, local resident Dennis Nilsen was arrested. 'Are we talking about one body or two?' a detective asked. 'Fifteen or sixteen, since 1978,' Nilsen replied. 'I'll tell you everything.' Within days he had confessed to fifteen gruesome murders over a period of four years. His victims, mostly young gay men at a time when society cared little for them, had been overlooked. Killing for Company is a unique study of a murderer's mind, essential reading for true crime aficionados. Praise for Killing for Company: 'You really have to read this extraordinary book to get a full flavour of the weirdness of Nilsen and his crimes' SUNDAY TIMES 'Probably the best thing of its kind since In Cold Blood . . . a classic study in criminal mentality' YORKSHIRE POST 'Without any doubt one of the most remarkable, complete and most humanely informative accounts of a murderer's mind ever achieved' NEW SOCIETY 'The book is a perceptive and at times coldly brutal assessment of Nilsen's psychology' MIRROR 'A comprehensive and compelling account' FINANCIAL TIMES 'One of the most remarkable and accurate accounts ever written of the singular relationship between a mass murderer and a society . . . a bloody masterpiece.' BERYL BAINBRIDGE, author of The Dressmaker
