Authoritative yet accessible volume, brimming with 15 sinister true crime cases from around the globe. Discover the stories behind some of the most shocking murders in true crime history. Why did Marc Lépine hate feminists so much? Why did so many people go missing on the prairies of the Old West? Why did Paul Denyer just want to kill? This book tries to understand the reasons why seemingly ordinary people become murderers, and examines the social and political context behind the stories as the author digs deep into every case. The author doesn’t flinch away from the harrowing detail but approaches every victim with sensitivity, and every murderer with curiosity and insight. $0.99 on Kindle
