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
