Serial Killers & Psychopaths

To kill is one of the greatest crimes against humanity to kill repeatedly, often accompanied by sexually motivated acts that are also taboo, is beyond comprehension. Why do serial killers and psychopaths do it? What motivates them? Wildly deviant behaviour can sometimes be understood when displayed by a lone madman, but what about the killers who are judged normal, or the ones who act in despicable agreement with another?

Serial Killers and Psychopaths provides a concise yet detailed look at some of the most dangerous individuals who have ever lived. Authors Charlotte Greig and John Marlowe present a carefully chosen cross-section of history's most infamous criminals, whose fascinating life stories are viewed with an unflinching gaze, making for a chilling but engrossing read.
