This Biography profile was mostly made through Shawcross' recollections, which should be suspect, as he is a true sociopath. The definitive biography of Shawcross, the murders, and the section of New York state in which he lived and killed is in a book by crime writer Jack Olsen, called "The Misbegotten Son". It is an excellent read, and presents an alternative view of Shawcross done by a clinical psychiatrist, which includes a genetic profile done revealing the presence of an additional Y chromosome. This genetic defect is seen in quite a few sociopathic killers. There was also a finding of a defect of metabolism resulting in some of his somatic and psychosocial problems, hence the title of the book. A superb read for true crime fans!
