  • Abstract: As stated in the review of The Lamp of the Wicked in Publishers Weekly, Phil Rickman, who pre-sents a follow-up to the case of Fred and Rose West in his crime novel, “explores the nature of Evil” and “the psychology of serial killers.” The novel thus serves as a memorial to the victims and reminds readers that we do not yet know the whole truth.
