Chikatilo. The phenomenon of the beast. Gravitsky A.A., Volkov S.Yu.

In the mid-1980s in Novocherkassk and its environs, a series of terrible murders took place. The local police are powerless. They are looking for a dangerous criminal, a recidivist, but no one even wants to think that the murderer can be the most ordinary person, their neighbor. The amazing ability to mimicry made Chikatilo indistinguishable from millions of Soviet citizens. He lived in society and satisfied his savage sexual fantasies, destroying the most precious thing that this society has children.

This book is the story of the double life of the most famous maniac of the Soviet Union Andrei Chikatilo and the investigation of its crimes.
