Overview

Peter Sotos examines the brutal murder of Lesley Ann Downey at the hands of British "Moors Murderers" Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.Sotos interweaves numerous accounts - culled from tabloids, memoirs, and television specials. Sotos discovers an implicit pornography in the public lamentations of Downey's grieving mother, media coverage of lurid sex crimes, and journalistic forays into the private lives of sex offenders. This is a true crime book, but written from the perspective of the serial killer. Soto's works are often cited as conveying an uncanny understanding of myriad aspects of pornography. Sotos' writings explore sadistic and pedophilic sexual impulses in their many, often hidden, guises. Often using first person narratives, his prose takes on the point of view of the sexual predator.
