Killing For Company - Brian Masters

A detailed account of Dennis Nilsen, the British serial killer who murdered young men in London between 1978 and 1983. Brian Masters examines Nilsen’s background, his psychology, his crimes and the circumstances that allowed his killings to continue undetected.

 Drawing on interviews and extensive research, Masters explores Nilsen’s personality, his relationships and his disturbing desire for companionship, examining the gap between his outward appearance as an unremarkable civil servant and the violence hidden behind closed doors. With a postscript by Anthony Storr, this award-winning true crime classic is a chilling study of murder, loneliness and the complexities of the human mind.
