Summary

The best known serial killer cases are in the category of lust murder, otherwise known as sexual homicide, in which the killer gains sexual satisfaction from the torture and killing of victims. This book analyzes the psychology of lust murder behavior, integrating theories on childhood trauma and sexual motivators to better understand how lust murderers come to be, what drives this behavior, and how to better predict the arc of this behavior.
