Paperback. They met in college 20yrs previously. One became a decorated NYPD officer and a journalist. The other became New York's most notorious serial killer. This is the riveting story of Joel Rifkin - the Long Islander convicted of savagely murdering 17 young women - as told by Rifkin to the author. The two met as journalism students on assignment together in 1979, more that two decades later, the NYPD detective visited Rifkin in prison to examine what both had made of their lives. In a chilling series of exchanges, Rifkin bared his soul to Mladinich, chronicling his lost years; the missed opportunities, the failed relationships, and the terrible details behind his killings. But the author probed deeper, forcing Rifkin to confront the horrifying nature of his crimes. Drawn from interviews with Rifkin and his mother, and conversations with acquaintances and professionals who encountered him, the book is an exacting true-crime portrayal and a chilling study of the possible evil within us all. Illus. + Index. 273pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
