There are no reviews yet. In Russia they go ahead and execute him instead of treating him like a rock star, so we can probably never Very gripping read. Most of the detective’s works, for instance, are done with barely enough equipment needed to identify the victims and the culprit of the crimes. Also fascinating that he studied FBI methods to catch the killer at a time when doing so could have gotten him in alot of hot water with his government. I did appreciate the inclusion of the killer’s actual written statements and both psychological analyses by the case psychiatrist. However, I found it difficult to read what was in Russian which is what stopped me from proper connecting to this book and not reading it as quickly I could. Over the next eight years, fifty-two more bodies were found in and around Rostov, a river city 600 miles south of Moscow.

2- Viktor Burakov. I also didn't realize until I finished that the author's not a true crime author, but rather a journalist who'd spent years in the Soviet Union, so he really knew his stuff.This is a book about the hunt for a serial killer in the collapsing Soviet Union.
I saw the HBO movie before I read it and that was very well done and made me aware of the book.Fascinating true account of the Russian detective who tracked down Andrei Chikatilo, and of the Soviet system that hindered his investigation at every turn, resulting in many more deaths that could have and should have been averted.
