Stranglers & Serial Killers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224619610)

An anthology of true crime headed by the story of John Reginald Christie, a prolific serial killer active in England during the 1940s and 1950s. He murdered at least six women including his wife-and some believe this number is higher, as well as a baby-before being arrested, convicted, and hanged. He lured women to his flat under the guise of assisting them with some medical procedure such as abortion and strangled and raped them; oftentimes while they were unconscious or dead, thus giving rise to allegations that he was a necrophiliac. Christie also likely framed his neighbor Timothy Evans for the death of Evans' wife and infant daughter for which Evans was convicted and hanged.
