At once disturbing and fascinating, Women Who Love Men Who Kill is a compelling psychological study of prison passion in the new millennium. Through extensive research and interviews with women who seek relationships with convicted killers through snail and email, and through conversations with psychiatrists, social workers, and prison officials, Isenberg sheds light on why these women are drawn into relationships with incarcerated outcasts.

A dying town, a missing man. One of Australia's greatest mysteries - two whodunnits, twisted together. Larrimah: hot, barren, a speck of dust in the centre of the nothingness of Outback Australia. Where you might find a death adder in the bar and a spider or 10 in the toaster. Maybe it's stupid to write a love letter to a town that looks like this, especially when it's someone else's town.

Diejenigen unter Ihnen, die mit meinen früheren Büchern der „True Crime“-Serie vertraut sind, wissen, dass ich immer mit einem kurzen Wort der Warnung beginne: Echte Kriminalfälle sind nicht für jeden etwas. In Fernsehsendungen und Nachrichtenartikeln werden die grausamen Details oft ausgelassen, weil sie für den Durchschnittszuschauer oder -leser zu viel sein könnten.

Un audiolibro che prova a fare il punto su uno dei misteri più cupi della storia italiana. Un'indagine sul campo fatta tra le pieghe di una regione, il Veneto, in cui certi fenomeni eversivi sembrano non essere ancora del tutto sopiti e che, dopo la tremenda scia di sangue lasciata da Ludwig, ha rimosso la memoria di quel terrore assurdo e inspiegabile. Una rimozione pericolosa, come purtroppo hanno dimostrato ampiamente i fatti di cronaca degli ultimi anni.

Wenn Sie die vorherigen Bände der Reihe True Crime Case Histories gelesen haben, wissen Sie, dass ich gerne mit einer kurzen Warnung beginne. Die in diesem Buch enthaltenen Geschichten sind wirklich abscheulich und schockierend. Sie sind nichts für zartbesaitete Menschen. In vielen Fernsehsendungen über wahre Verbrechen und in Nachrichtenartikeln werden die grausamen Details oft ausgelassen, weil sie für den Durchschnittszuschauer oder -leser zu viel sein könnten. In meinen Büchern versuche ich, keine Details zu verbergen, egal wie bösartig sie auch sein mögen.

Criminal defense lawyer Lisa Peebles was taken aback by a secretly recorded phone call and police interrogation video that surfaced in a 20-year-old kidnapping case.

If you’re familiar with the previous books in the True Crime Case Histories series, you already know that I start each book with a brief warning. Real true crime is not for everyone. The stories in this book represent humanity at its absolute worst. Pure evil. Television crime shows and news articles often skip the gruesome parts of true crime stories. The real details are just too grisly for the average viewer or reader.
