The Killer Inside Me is a 1952 novel by American writer Jim Thompson. In the introduction to the anthology Crime Novels: American Noir of the 1950s, it is described as "one of the most blistering and uncompromising crime novels ever written."
The story is told through the eyes of its protagonist, Lou Ford, a deputy sheriff in a small Texas town. Ford seems to be a regular, small-town cop leading an unremarkable existence; beneath this facade, however, he is a cunning, depraved sociopath responsible for a number of grisly murders.
Ford murders a prostitute and her lover, the latter a son of a local millionaire and the real power in town. Ford builds a solid alibi and frames other people for the double homicide. However, to successfully frame others when the evidence starts to go against him, he has to commit additional murders or induce further deaths. But these only increase suspicion until the local authorities begin stripping away his mask of sanity. Then he reveals to the reader the full nature of the inner demons that drive his criminal behavior
