[the skinny] Everything you ever wanted to know about Jeffrey Dahmer--in a novel. Lee regards this book as the most professional project to ever have his name on it. Almost no on-stage violence, one sex scene, and a surprising rarity of foul language, but mass-market editors all came back with the same comments: sorry, the subject matter--Jeffrey Dahmer--is too offensive and a novel about him will sensationalize the real victims and offend the gay community. Well, forget that noise, the book is still an outstanding police-procedural and mainstream mystery. Here, again, Lee teams up with forensic expert/crime analyst Elizabeth Steffen to deliver a novel about one of America’s most infamous serial-killers.
