In 1906 the Metropolitan Police Commissioner was asked by the Home Office to make available skilled investigators for murder inquiries nationwide as few constabularies had sufficiently skilled – or indeed, any - detectives. Thus was born the Reserve Squad, or Murder Squad, as it later became known. Despite a reluctance by some forces to call upon The Met, the Murder Squad has proved its effectiveness on countless occasions with its remit extended to British territories overseas. A particularly sensitive case was the murder of a local superintendent on St Kitts and Nevis. A former Scotland Yard detective, the author uses his contacts and experiences to get the inside track on a gruesome collection of infamous cases. Child murderers, a Peer’s butler, a King’s housekeeper, gangsters, jealous spouses and the notorious mass murderer Dr Bodkin Adams compete for space in this spine-chilling and gripping book which is testament to the Murder Squad’s skills and ingenuity - and the evil of the perpetrators. Brimming with gruesome killings, this highly readable book proves that there is no substitute for old fashioned footwork and instinct.

Berlin, 1923. A defeated capital of a devastated nation. A city roiling with revolution and economic unrest. And stalked by a savage murderer. Dubbed 'Alpine Joe" by the police, he is killing the lower-class denizens of the Wedding District-whores, pimps, the elderly, the homeless. Equally adept with a gun or a knife, Alpine Joe is terrorizing the city with his vicious one-man crime spree. The man selected to stop him is Inspector Ernst Lohmann, a dedicated and humane policeman still fighting his own demons from the memories of the trenches of the Great War. "The Berlin Murder Squad" is the story of these two men and the story of a new age in history, populated with new criminals, new ideologies-and new monsters.

In this fascinating and chilling book, he examines the world's most notorious serial killers and the despicable crimes they committed. From William McDonald, the 'Sydney Mutilator', to 'Dusseldorf Vampire' Peter Kurten, Steve Wright, the 'Suffolk Strangler', and the USA's satanic Ripper Crew, these are the horrifying true stories of serial murder from across the globe.

The 1980s was the decade when the action film as it's now known came into being. Nonstop, big-budget excitement became the standard as epic adventures like Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Road Warrior set the tone for the summer blockbusters of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris. Homages (and ripoffs) made with lesser budgets followed every hit, especially with the advent of direct-to-video releases. Providing detailed commentary on 284 films, this book explores the excitement, audacity and sheer weirdness of '80s low budget action cinema, from the American Ninja series to dime-a-dozen barbarian pictures to such bargain-basement productions as The Courier of Death, Kill Squad and Samurai Cop.
