KILLERS ON THE WEB. True Stories of Internet Cannibals, Murderers and Sex Criminals

Hardback. The internet has, in a very short period of time, become an integral part of the lives of every person on the planet - and that includes the worst criminals. Sex, drugs and terrorism have benefitted from technological breakthroughs. Organised gangs and sinister individuals can work their evil in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Inadequate and fragile personalities can become embroiled in a sickening spiral of destruction, where both victim and the perpetrator find themselves entering the darker zones of human behaviour. It might start with a harmless cyber-date - but sometimes it ends in agony, misery and death. The revelations in this book will at the very least raise awareness of the hazards in cyberspace. Meet the man who had a terrible obsession and killed teacher Janet Longhurst. Then there are the people who have used the net to find out how to commit suicide, such as Suzy Gonzales. Make sure you don't end up like Anastasia Solovyova, the would-be Russian bride whose new life ended in her brutal death. Illus., Appendix. 268pp. 8vo. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. With vertical crease to lower cover o/w Vg. in repaired dw. (taped down corresponding vertical crease). Review copy with loosely inserted slip.
