TO KILL & KILL AGAIN How Britain's most famous serials killers were identified, caught and convicted.

Hardback, 1st edn. Accompanying the major ITV series. The British have always been fascinated by murder and that fascination only increases when the murderer becomes what we call a 'serial killer'. One murder, it seems is a tragedy, but when the body count rises, we view the spectacle with increasing horror and awe, mixed with curiosity: what drives these people to kill, again and again? How are they caught? What evidence leads to their conviction? What devastation do they leave behind them? The author explains how a pattern is established, how police procedures are followed or amended, and how the killer is caught and convicted with the help of psychological profiling and forensic evidence. Featuring amongst others : Jack the Ripper, John George Haigh, John Reginald Halliday Christie, The Moors Murders, Dennis Nilsen, Fred and Rosemary West etc. Illus., Appendix of Killers and Their Victims, Bibliog. and Index. 224pp. 8vo. h/back.
