The book behind the hit ITV true crime drama DES, starring David Tennant and Jason Watkins as Brian Masters, and the follow-up documentary The Real `Des`
Dennis Nilsen, who died in May 2018, admitted to killing at least 15 people before his arrest in 1983. This ground-breaking criminal study of his killings was written with Nilsen`s full cooperation, resulting in a fascinating - and horrifying - portrait of the man who worshipped death. In February 1983, residents of Muswell Hill had been plagued by blocked drains. When a plumber was called to investigate, he discovered a large blockage of biological material. To his horror, it appeared to be formed of human flesh and bones. The next day, local resident Dennis Nilsen was arrested. `Are we talking about one body or two?` a detective asked. Nilsen replied `Fifteen or sixteen, since 1978. I`ll tell you everything.`

Within days he had confessed to fifteen gruesome murders over a period of four years. His victims, mostly young gay men at a time when society cared little for them, had been overlooked. Killing for Company is a unique study of a murderer`s mind, essential reading for true crime aficionados.
