Murder is the most shocking crime of all. Whether we choose to ignore it or try to learn more about why it happens, one thing is certain – people still commit this most heinous of crimes, day in, day out. In THE LAW KILLERS, journalist Alexander McGregor examines some of the country’s most fascinating and chilling cases and peels back the civilised layers of our society to reveal what lies beneath, including: • The Not So Ordinary John Smith who terrorised and murdered in a quiet neighbourhood • Anything You Can Do – the country’s most notorious father and son who killed again and again • The Templeton Woods Murders – was the same serial killer responsible? • Murder on a Monday Morning and how a dead man’s stare led to a police breakthrough • Forgive Me Father – a trail of slaughter that spread to two countries Some of the perpetrators of these crimes were unpredictable psychopaths but, for others, it was a moment of uncontrolled violence that led to them gaining infamy and an unwanted place in the annals of true crime.
