The Light Inside Serial Killers
A true story of childhood trauma, serial murder and a lifelong search for the unexplained.
At thirteen, Christine Joanna Hart discovered a paperback about Ian Brady. She wrote to him for eight years before he answered. Years later, she travelled six thousand miles to meet Kenneth Bianchi, the Hillside Strangler.
What began as an investigation into the minds of two notorious killers became something altogether more personal: a search for the meaning of an extraordinary childhood experience, forgotten memories and the mysteries of human consciousness.
A haunting account from a Sunday Times bestselling author, psychotherapist and former private investigator.
“Hart has a rare perception.” Colin Wilson
