An exploration of the dark and disturbing world of the female serial killer. With in depth analysis of individual cases, this work provides an insight into the psychology behind these atrocities.
Why does a young woman lure teenagers into her car then participate in their horrific rape and torture? What makes a nurse lethally inject the healthy babies in her care? Women, statistically, aren't a violent breed...but the female of the species can be just as deadly as the male. From the mass poisoner to the sexual sadist, from profit killings to crimes committed just for twisted thrills, Carol Anne Davis sets out to explore the dark and disturbing world of the female serial killer. In depth analysis of individual cases, including new information from the priest who heard Myra Hindley's confession, provides an invaluable insight into the psychology behind these atrocities.

Carol Anne Davis was born in Dundee, moved to Edinburgh in her twenties and now lives in the south of England. She left school at fifteen and was everything from an artist's model to an editorial assistant before going to university. Her MA degree included criminology and was followed by a postgraduate diploma in Adult and Community Education. She has been a full time writer since graduating and is the author of three crime novels, Shrouded, Safe as Houses and most recently Noise Abatement. They have been described as chillingly realistic for their portrayals of dangerous sex and death.
