Jeffrey Dahmer: Anatomy of Atrocity pulls you far beyond the headline horrors and into the machinery that created — and ultimately caged — America’s most infamous cannibal‐killer. True-crime investigator Jack Hunter dissects Dahmer’s life through five relentless lenses that turn a tabloid nightmare into a razor-sharp case study of psychology, law, and society.
