description: Also titled Lingard. Fictional portrait of a mass-murderer by the distinguished author of The Outsider. This novel is the uninhibited portrait in depth of a mass rapist &amp; murderer, Arthur James Lingard. He is serving the last years of an 8 year sentence for 3nd degree murder when prison authorities note that he is in a depression &amp; send the prison psychiatrist to see him. Dr. Kahn soon has reason to suspect that his patient is a dangerous psychopath, &amp; undertakes a perilous, &amp; as it develops, sensational investigation of Lingard's life.--It makes Truman Capote's book, In Cold Blood, look bland.
