Murder Casebook Volume 4: 12 Shocking True Crime Cases

Description

Horrifying, engaging, and meticulously researched, this fourth volume of the Murder Casebook series includes 12 more shocking true crime cases that highlight the unpredictability, brutality, and diversity of murder.

In this volume, Prash Ganendran presents 12 more carefully selected true crime stories from around the world, which will leave you speechless at how the lives of previously happy, carefree people can be extinguished in an instant on the whims of savage perpetrators who crave the ultimate power over other human beings. This compelling collection includes serial killers, family massacres, teenage murderers, intimidating stalking campaigns, outrageously devious plots, and a major cross-country manhunt.

The Murder Casebook series uses expressive and memorable writing paired with painstaking research to help readers come to know both the victims and the killers, recognising that they were real human beings who lived, loved, suffered, and died in their frequently too-short time on earth. Their stories are told vividly, accurately, and above all, compassionately. The settings, methods, and motives vary, with a stark contrast between the murders marked by stone-cold machinations, and those committed in the heat of a moment with impulsive disregard for the consequences, but the themes of hatred, anger, and the human capacity for darkness are always disturbingly familiar.

Here’s a preview of some of the true crime cases covered in this volume, which include tenacious police investigations, cutting edge forensics, serial killers, family massacres, and above all, real life murders that will evoke shock, incredulity, and sorrow.

• The Deadly Job Offer: How did an abusive womanizer living in his own fantasy world cunningly lure a teenage girl to her death?
• Fatal Tenancy: What happened when four young men were a day late paying the rent to their quarrelsome landlord in Connecticut?
• The Killer from the Caves: Did a religious trigger compel a bearded nomad to murder an elderly woman in her peaceful forest retreat?
• The Widden Hill Farm Murder: Who harbored such explosive hatred for a farming family that they sent a terrifying series of threatening letters, culminating in a heinous murder plot?
• The Valentine’s Day Murder: What became of a recently engaged 21-year-old woman who missed the last train and was forced to walk home through the darkened streets of London?
