Dead Man Upright by Derek Raymond

4.0

This was a quick read. Not quite as world weary as the others in the series, it goes into the emerging technique of psychological profiling of serial killers that was introduced in the late 80s/early 90s. The killer is caught about 3/4s of the way through, and the rest of the book centres on the interviews conducted by the police psychiatrist. You get the impression that the unnamed detective sergeant is on the verge of calming the rage that has driven him through the other cases, now that he has this new tool in solving and potentially preventing the unexplained deaths his unit investigates. A good ending to the series.
