A concise yet detailed look at some of the most dangerous individuals who have ever lived. Starting with examples of some of the earliest recorded psychopaths and serial killers, the authors present a carefully chosen cross-section of history's most infamous criminals.

Serial Killers and Psychopaths

Many people find it impossible to believe women are capable of committing brutal murders just like men, but this book shows otherwise. Among the cases covered are: Pamela Smart, a volunteer at a high school drug awareness program, who urged her fifteen-year-old lover and his friends to kill her husband; Nancy Kissel, an expat American in Hong Kong, who served her investment banker husband a strawberry milkshake laced with drugs, then clubbed him to death with a statue; and Celeste Beard, whose husband was disembowelled by her lesbian lover. Each of the cases documented here makes for a chilling read, proving that the female really can be deadlier than the male.
