In this, his 19th book, Max Haines describes, in his inimitable style, sixty-five new cases of murder and mayhem from eight different countries: Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, New Zealand, the United States and Wales. You'll meet the notorious George Joseph Smith, an Englishman known as "Brides in the Bath Smith" because of his penchant for murdering his wives in the bath. Read the details behind the recent case of Karla Faye Tucker, who killed two people with a pickaxe then became a born-again Christian while on death row, before she was executed in 1998.
