Description
From cold-blooded calculation to fiery vengeance—discover how history's most notorious killers finally faced their fate!
Step into the chilling world of some of history's most infamous killers and discover how their reigns of terror came to a brutal, often fitting end. Payback chronicles the lives, crimes, and ultimate fates of notorious figures like Harold Shipman, the most prolific serial killer in British history, whose meticulous plans for suicide were as calculated as his murders. From Bluebeard, the remorseless widow-killer, racing toward his guillotine, to Bonnie and Clyde meeting their demise in a hail of bullets, this collection dives deep into the justice—or vengeance—that ended their crimes.
Using historical accounts, trial transcripts, and psychological insights, Payback explores the depravity of these individuals, the lives they destroyed, and the punishments that await them. Readers will encounter chilling moments of calm calculation, like Percival William Budd's emotionless murder of a taxi driver for a car, and horrifying spectacles of retribution, from botched executions to violent prison deaths.
This volume explores the psychology of killers, from early warning signs to the urges that drove them to kill. With gripping detail, Payback offers a haunting glimpse into the minds of killers and asks whether justice was truly served.
