THE KILLER INSIDE ME has been a cult classic since its first publication in 1952. Also a major motion picture starring Casey Affleck, directed by Michael Winterbottom. 'Probably the most chilling and believable first-person story of a criminally warped mind I have ever encountered' Stanley Kubrick 'His ability to get inside twisted minds was uncanny...extraordinary' INDEPENDENT Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford is a pillar of the community in his small Texas town, patient and thoughtful. Some people think he's a little slow and boring but that's the worst they say about him. But then nobody knows about what Lou calls his 'sickness'. It nearly got him put away when he was younger, but his adopted brother took the rap for that. Now the sickness that has been lying dormant for a while is about to surface again - and the consequences are brutal and devastating. Tense and suspenseful, THE KILLER INSIDE ME is a brilliantly sustained noir crime masterpiece.

Loved the movie which had a big impact on me and led me to the book, which was good but, I thought, lacked depth after seeing the movie. Casey Affleck had the role down pat. The movie developed the killer's role more thoroughly, giving the reader more understanding of his childhood and some possible insight into his pathology.
I am planning to read another book by Jim Thompson. I'd never read a noir crime thriller before.

Interesting look into a man with the "sickness"
very good book interesting story has characters that one can feel for and at the same time despise it's also a look inside the mind of a sick character would certainly recommend this book to anyone that asked about it well this book and his other one pop 1240
