A Chilling Collection of Mass Murder Cases.
Fully revised and updated, this is the most comprehensive collection of mass murder cases ever published.
From the cases covered, a remarkably consistent pattern emerges of what kind of person commits such multicide. Frequently a man approaching middle age, he is a loner lacking in social skills and unable to form stable relationships. Having developed a grudge against society in general or a number of scapegoats in particular, he determines to seek his revenge for whatever real or imagined ills have been committed against him.
The cases covered in this chilling collection include:
- Brenda Spencer, a rare instance of a female mass murderer, who opened fire at a junior school, killing eleven, just because "I don't like Mondays"
- Jeremy Bamber, who was found guilty of killing five of his family members in 1985
- Michael Ryan, perpetrator of the notorious "Hungerford Massacre" in which sixteen people where shot dead, including Ryan's own mother
- Julio Gonzalez, the arsonist who set fire to the Happy Land social club, killing eighty-seven people, after a row with his girlfriend
