Included are an Italian Society doctor and a former SS doctor, both of whom became killers in the name of love, as did an American banker who sent a bomb hundreds of miles by post! Two village priests in France offer bizarre contrast to a married priest of the Church of England, though all were determined killers, while a lawyer who sought to buy violent death for cash compares strangely with the young woman schoolteacher who was prepared to do her own killing when she thought her future was threatened. There are twelve such cases covering a century in time reaching across a large portion of the world. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0091266505. ISBN/EAN: 9780091266509.
