Murderers of the USSR and Russia. Fisher the Maniac. The Bitsevsky Maniac. The Killer (Set of 3 Books)

Murderers of the USSR and Russia. A set of 3 books: Fisher the Maniac. The story of the last executed murderer in Russia. The Bitsevsky Maniac. The chess player with a hammer. The Killer. The story of the serial killer Mikhasevich. Three known serial killers – three documentary thrillers. The author, a criminal psychologist, tells how step by step, troubled teenagers grew into monsters. Golovko tortured his victims in his garage, Pichushkin killed with a hammer and discarded bodies in the sewer, Mikhasevich hunted lonely women on quiet streets. They are united not only by a distorted consciousness and lack of moral boundaries but also by the astonishing ability to appear 'normal' for many years, not arousing suspicion and committing crimes with impunity. Sadist, collector, and strangler. What were their true motives? What turned them into monsters? How did they choose their victims? What happens in a man's mind? Elizabeth Buta answers these and other questions, the author of credible psychological investigations into the dark sides of human nature.
