Infamous murderers, their deeds horrifying yet intriguing, have always inspired a strange fascination. Their crimes repulse us, yet the more heinous the act, the more we crave information, and ultimately we elevate the perpetrator to celebrity status. The names of the often random and completely innocent victims are not always so easily recalled. Murderers are remembered for many different reasons. Some have struck out and killed for revenge, some in an uncontrollable jealous rage. Others have planned the murder out of greed, or with money in mind. Some acted out of pure hatred and rage. One thing they all have in common - they just have the urge to kill.
Contents:
Ancient Murder Mysteries including King John, Edward II, Mary Queen of Scots
Fatal Families including The Duc de Praslin, Lizzie Borden, Dr Crippen, Ruth Ellis
Political Assassinations including Brutus and Cassius, John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald
Murder for Profit including Dick Turpin, Francois Courvoisier, James Hanratty, Jermey Bamber
also including Poisonous Women, Madmen, Child Victims, Lady Killers, Bodies in Boxes
