"Over the course of one week in September of 1982, Ricardo Melogno killed four taxi drivers in Buenos Aires. Science has been grappling with him ever since. A mellow, intelligent man, Melogno has vivid recollections of the killings, but shows none of the behaviors psychologists, lawyers and psychiatrists expect from him. Journalist Carlos Busqued tried to get to the bottom of Melogno’s complex psyche during a series of interviews, which eventually became this book. Haunting and unsettling, Magnetized is a narrative that reminds us how little we know about the inner workings of serial killers."
