An International True Crime Anthology of Serial Killers, Assassinations, and Criminology History

Renowned criminologist and philosopher Colin Wilson compiles over seventy detailed case studies examining the psychological motivations and forensic evidence behind famous historical crimes. The anthology spans two centuries of global crime, analyzing infamous cases such as the Moors Murders, Jack the Ripper, and the Lindbergh kidnapping alongside lesser-known international homicides.

Wilson provides analytical commentary on criminal profiling, the evolution of forensic science, and the socio-psychological factors behind serial violence, assassination, and major fraud. Each entry synthesizes courtroom records, police files, and psychological evaluations.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Colin Wilson offers an encyclopedic, psychologically astute overview of international criminology. Ideal for true crime writers, researchers, and readers who enjoy comprehensive crime history anthologies by Ann Rule, F. Tennyson Jesse, and Jonathan Goodman.
