In the twisted minds of men who murder again and again, life, sex, pain, and death are fashioned into a terrible compulsion to kill. Otherwise rather ordinary men, serial killers turn to violence and death in search of power over others and to explore their own monstrous sexual identity. That is what their killing is really all about, although it takes many different forms. While their behaviour has been insane, however, they are rarely locked away in mental institutions. To be judged legally insane, one cannot understand the wrongness or consequences of one's crimes. But these men plan and commit not one but a series of premeditated murders and then skillfully elude capture. They may indeed be compelled to kill, but they are not insane in the eyes of the law. When society finally sweeps up such predators, their very cunning ensures them a life behind bars - or a place on death row.

The latest work from acclaimed historical author Robert Cox, A Compulsion to Kill is a dramatic chronological account of 19th - century Tasmanian serial murderers. Never before revealed in such depth, the story is the culmination of extensive research and adept craftsmanship as it probes the essence of both the crimes and the killers themselves. Beginning in 1806 with Australia's first serial killers, John Brown and Richard Lemon, A Compulsion to Kill recounts the stories of Alexander Pearce, 'the cannibal convict'; Thomas Jeffrey, a sadist, sexual predator, cannibal, and baby - killer known as 'the monster'; Charles Routley, who burnt one of his victims alive; cannibal convicts Broughton and McAvoy; Rocky Whelan, who in twenty - four days slew five men in cold blood; and John Haley, who killed three people in fits of rage. The final chapter investigates the still - unsolved Parkmount murders, three killings for which the two probable culprits twice faced court, only to be discharged due to faulty police investigation and neglected evidence. Most of these stories have never been told before, and none has previously been related with such detail and verifiable accuracy. A determined storyteller, Cox delivers a supremely dramatic page - turner in the true crime genre. The book includes extensive references and an index.

In Chicago in 1924, two brilliant university students, the sons of millionaires, kidnap a boy and kill him. They celebrate their "perfect crime" in a nightclub, with their girlfriends and a fraternity brother, who happens to be a reporter. Tracing of a pair of glasses dropped at the scene of the crime leads the reporter to an interrogation of the two "supermen" in a cat-and-mouse scene, in which they flaunt their extravagant ideas, but eventually entangle themselves. Their bizarre crime arouses a lynching fever, and, in the face of this, a humanitarian attorney fights for their lives. Questions of juvenile delinquency, capital punishment and psychiatric evidence are the subject of the courtroom battle. The struggle over the fate of the two boys is waged between the defense attorney, who believes that we are fallible creatures trapped in our mortal imperfections, and the prosecuting attorney who contends that all men must be held responsible for their actions and punished for their crimes, whatever the causes might be.

In 1981, while serving those sentences in Green Haven Correctional Facility, he murdered prison guard Donna Payant.Forensic anthropologist Denis Foley's riveting narrative reads like a novel but is one of the most detailed and well documented accounts ever published on the workings of the mind of a violent, multiple personality serial killer.

Burdened by his own psychological scars, forensic psychiatrist Dr Frank Clevenger has endured the most extreme twists of the human mind. Then he receives a disturbing call from Nantucket’s chief of police. The five-month-old daughter of prominent billionaire Darwin Bishop has been found murdered in her crib. The obvious suspect is Darwin’s adopted sociopathic son, Billy. But even Clevenger can’t fathom the motive behind the troubled boy’s murder of an infant. What is Billy really running from? Does Darwin’s stunning wife Julia know? If she does, she isn’t talking. Neither is Bishop’s other son who’s harbouring terrible secrets of his own. Falling for Julia is Clevenger's first mistake. Investigating the Bishops' twisted emotional landscape is his second. As his own demons rise to the surface, he must play the ultimate mind game to catch the killer – and make it out alive...

Suicide is devastating. It is an assault on our ideas of what living is about. In Contemplating Suicide Gavin Fairbairn takes fresh look at suicidal self harm. His view is distinctive in not emphasising external facts: the presence or absence of a corpse, along with evidence that the person who has become a corpse, intended to do so. It emphasises the intentions that the person had in acting, rather than the consequences that follow from those actions. Much of the book is devoted to an attempt to construct a natural history of suicidal self harm and to examine some of the ethical issues that it raises. Fairbairn sets his philosophical reflections against a background of practical experience in the caring professions and uses a storytelling approach in offering a critique of the current language of self harm along with some new ways of thinking. Among other things he offers cogent reasons for abandoning the mindless use of terms such as attempted suicide and parasuicide , and introduces a number of new terms including cosmic roulette , which he uses to describe a family of human acts in which people gamble with their lives. By elaborating a richer model of suicidal self harm than most philosophers and most practitioners of caring professions currently inhabit, Fairbairn has contributed to the development of understanding in this area. Among other things a richer model and vocabulary may reduce the likelihood that those who come into contact with suicidal self harm, will believe that familiarity with the physical facts of the matter - the actions of the suicider and the presence or absence of a corpse - is always sufficient to justify a definite conclusion about the nature of the self harming act.

Addiction is a cruel master and a vicious servant. A cold-blooded killer is roaming the dark underbelly of Washington DC, stalking addicts of various dependencies to feed an addiction of his own… murder. The line between good and evil is not as simple as black or white; it is blurred by compulsion, redemption, justice, recovery and relapse. Control is an illusion. The Addict Killer is a brutal serial murderer whose victims are all tied with a common thread. A violent killing spree begins with a heroin addict, drawing a man into a hunt through a series of elaborately staged and grisly murders. At each turn, he discovers another victim killed in a manner fundamentally linked to the nature of their addiction. But the tables are turned in the pursuit of the sadistic psychopath as the hunter becomes the hunted, leading to a terrifying conclusion with lives left hanging in the balance.
