KISS OF DEATH True Cases of Fatal Attraction Taken from 'News of the World's Sunday Magazine'

Paperback. Sex and death are inextricably linked in the bizarre murder cases recounted here. Meticulously researched from the files of the 'News of the World's Sunday Magazine', they include such horrific crimes of passion as the case of the vice-queen, Christian Offord, who was murdered in her torture chamber after quarrelling with her lesbian lover over custody of 'their' son. There is the chilling story of John Tanner, the student who calmly appealed for help in finding his girlfriend knowing all the time that her body was buried under the floorboards, and the case of Gilliam Philpott who throttled her husband because of his obsession with her twin sister. There is also the strange case of Angela Kaplan, probably the first person in the world to have been killed with a dog as the murder weapon, and the case of Kimberly Wallace, drugged and then strangled by her husband and two accomplices. Obsessional sexual desire is the thread which binds the brutal crimes which the authors compellingly recount. Illus. 301pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
