About this audiobook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The story of how Dennis Nilsen was arrested is often told, but in his version, he is the one who is looking for help. He claims that the police were unsure of themselves. #2 Nilsen suffered from a severe and dangerous personality disorder. The pot on the stove had been used to boil a human head, and the odour of death hung thick throughout the flat. In the wardrobe were bin bags filled with the remains of a Scottish youth called Steven Sinclair. Nilsen had killed him two weeks earlier. #3 Nilsen began to take Sinclair out drinking, and soon became dependent on him. He would buy him anything he wanted to drink, and insisted on being called Des, explaining that he hated his real name. They would go back to Nilsen’s flat for more alcohol. #4 There are many accounts of what happened next. Nilsen gave two versions. The first was his confession to the police. He told DCI Jay that when they put on the television, he was pleased to see the working-class drama Boys from the Blackstuff being broadcast. He sat down and drank with Sinclair.
