I was very disappointed in this book. In fact, I thought it was one of the worst true crime books I have read. If a person could get a copy of the police interview they would have the content of the book. I'm glad I got it from the library and didn't waste one of my PBS credits on it.

To his friends and neighbours, Jeffrey Mailhot was an ordinary, law-abiding motorcycle enthusiast with a fondness for 80's rock'n roll. But there was a dark side to Mailhot - and an urge he couldn't control...Rhode Island detectives knew they had a serial killer in their town. But the victims were women who lived and worked in a sexual underground - and whose bodies were never found. Then, prostitutes began to talk about a man who played too rough. Police arrested Jeffrey Mailhot, and an incredible duel of wits began...A brilliant police interrogation led to a chilling confession. Now, this insider's account of a modern-day Jack the Ripper takes us into the room where Jeffrey Mailhot, in his own words, told police how he killed women with his bare hands, cut their bodies into pieces, and then went out to kill again...
