Paperback. Nothing inspires more horror and fascination than couples possessed of a single impulse - to kill for thrills. Obsessed by and sucked into their own sick and private madness, their attraction is always fatal, their actions always desperate. The author presents a sinister catalogue of notorious couples : from desperados Starkweather and Fugate, on whom the film Natural Born Killers is based, right through to Fred and Rose West, who committed unspeakable horrors in their semi-detached house in Gloucester, England. With contributions from a variety of true crime aficionados, the book covers both the world-famous cases and also lesser-known but equally shocking crimes. Also features : Leopold and Loeb, Fernandez and Beck, Brady and Hindley, Clark and Bundy, Worrell and Miller, The Gallegos, Coleman and Brown, The Birnies, Bernard and Homolka, Ray and Hendy. Includes author's biographies. 259pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
