«El estrangulador» is the crime novel by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, published by Público and Sabadell Atlántico in paperback (221 pages, in Spanish).
An inmate of a prison asylum claims to be the Boston Strangler and reconstructs his story amid false leads that invite doubt about his crimes and the real setting.
