Plot
The book records the life and times of a good-natured serial killer (William "Mackerel" Burton) who murders for the fun of it.
Reception
More "Kind Hearts and Coronets" than "Hannibal Lecter" the novel nonetheless attracted criticism at the time for the way in which Gibson generated such sympathy from the reader for his anti-hero.

gollark: But scale to bigger ones and you need actual conflict resolution mechanisms, because you can't just fallback to social stuff for it.
gollark: I mean, in smallish groups with heavy social interaction and stuff, *maybe*?
gollark: > humans are naturally co-operative. this is a FACT.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
gollark: I don't think it sounds very nice either, as a somewhat individualist sort of person.
