Here is the chilling true story of the manhunt for the most frighteningly brutal serial killer of modern times--  Andrei Chikatilo --- the Russian Jeffrey Dahmer.  As the killer stalked train stations for new young prey, Detective Viktor Burakov stalked him, while an archaic Soviet system put every obstacle in his way. Overwhelmed by the sheer horror of the killer's deeds and haunted by the spectres of the dead, Burakov broke the rules of Soviet police work: He secretly asked a psychiatrist to create a psychological profile of the killer, which allowed Burakov to get inside the mind of the world's most dangerous man.... 

Mesmerizing, shocking, and immediate, THE KILLER DEPARTMENT is one of the most authentic and riveting cases in the annals of true crime.
