The shocking true story of Jeffrey Dahmer's murders, as narrated by Milwaukee Journal reporter Anne E. Schwartz, from the dramatic scene when police stormed into Dahmer's apartment at the fateful moments, to the lasting impacts the case has left to this day.

One night in July 1991, two police officers saw a man running handcuffed from Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment. Investigating the situation, they discovered three human skulls in Dahmer's refrigerator and broken parts of at least 11 other people scattered throughout the apartment. Shortly thereafter, journalist Anne E. Schwartz received a tip that would change her life. She delves into the comprehensive, inside story of Dahmer’s dark life, the case, and its aftermath: the terrifying crime scene and the shocking story that unfolded, Dahmer's confessions, forensic analyses, the dramatic trial, and Dahmer's murder in prison. The book also contains 32 black-and-white photographs.
