When Jessica is found dead in her room the following day it would appear that her secret past may have finally caught up with her. Horrified by the death of her good friend in her very own inn, Dell soon gets drawn into the mystery. And things take a turn for the very weird when Jessica's ghost visits her, more than once, directing Dell to clues that have been overlooked by a very incompetent police investigation.

Download or read book True Crime British Killers A Prequel written by Jason Neal and published by Akamai Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Disturbing Stories of some of the UK's Most Brutal Killers A Prequel to the True Crime Case Histories Series - Over 7,000 Five-Star Ratings worldwide A quick word of warning. The true crime short stories within this book are unimaginably shocking. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the offensive details of truly unsettling crimes. In my books, I try not to gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. My goal is to give my readers a clear and accurate description of just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in this book are not for the squeamish. Many of my readers know I have split my last several years between London and Arizona. As these past few months of 2019 and 2020 have been my final months in London, I thought it would be fitting to write a book about some of the most notorious killers in UK history. This book is not officially part of the True Crime Case Histories series, but it’s written in a very similar style. A sampling of the stories includes: The Camden Ripper - A homeless man reached into a dumpster and felt what he thought were salmon fillets in a plastic bag. What he found were two human legs severed at the knees. London police started a manhunt for a demented murderer intent on fulfilling his obsession with Jack the Ripper. The London Cannibal - At 23 years old bludgeoned to death a young girl he had a crush on in broad daylight. Found to have “diminished responsibility,” he was committed to a psychiatric ward. Within 11 years, the killer was found to be “no major risk” to society and was free to go. Within hours of his release, he had dismembered a friend and was frying parts of his body in a pan. Sent back to the mental hospital, his killing didn’t stop. The Acid Bath Killer - One of the most notorious killers in UK history, wrongfully believed if he could make a body disappear, he couldn’t be charged with murder. Led by greed, he dissolved his victims in vats of acid before acquiring their assets. The Black Widow - Dena Thompson was a bigamist that hated men. Her first husband, she drove into hiding from an imaginary mafia. Another thought he would be getting kinky sex, but instead got beaten within an inch of his life. Her second husband wasn’t so lucky. The Bus Stop Killer - A sadistic predator terrorized southwest London for years, following young blonde girls from bus stops. He would beat them on the head with a hammer simply for the sake of extinguishing life. The Suffolk Strangler - The quiet area of Ipswitch in Suffolk normally sees very few killings in a year. In 2006 in a span of only six weeks, police found the bodies of five young women strangled. Some posed to resemble a crucifix. Plus, One Bonus Chapter. The six true crime stories included in this collection are dark and chilling and will leave you with a new understanding of just how fragile the human mind can be. Check out the True Crime Case Histories series for more short stories of; True Crime, Murder & Mayhem, Serial Killer Biographies, and True Murder Case Files.

Download or read book Avenging Child Sex Abuse written by Joshua Long and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the subjects of child sex abuse, flaws in the justice system, cultural support for vigilantism, prison violence, and the socio-legal philosophy of punishment. Child sex abuse leaves a scar that lasts a lifetime. Can any legal punishment balance the scales of justice? Can sex offenders ever repay their debt to society, or more importantly, to the victim? For some victims of this traumatic abuse, the debt remains unpaid, and it accrues interest. Vigilantes seek to avenge child victims by hunting down sex offenders in the community. Sometimes prisoners in correctional facilities conspire with rogue correctional officers to mete out their own form of “convict justice” on people who hurt children. While their motives and methods differ, these outraged citizens seek retribution through violence because they are disgusted with a justice system they believe shows extraordinary leniency toward child sex abusers. Whether this violence occurs in the community or in jail cells across the country, the message these vigilantes broadcast is the same: if the government won’t seek retribution, they will. The story is told through a series of case studies based on interviews with real-life vigilantes, most of whom are serving life sentences for their crimes. For the first time, vigilantes have been given a chance to tell their own stories. Patrick Drum, Steven Sandison, Joseph Druce, Jeremy Moody, Jon Watson, James Fairbanks, and others have shared their personal insights to help us get inside the vigilante mind. For some readers, these accounts will humanize people considered to be simply murderers. For others, it will demystify the popular portrayals of vigilantes in our society.
