Murder and crime are not always a solo affair. Sometimes, when one is confronted by the horrifying truth of their partner's evil deeds, rather than recoiling in horror, they instead join in on the carnage. In other times, it is the love of evil that brings them together, and they share in monstrous fantasies that they enact on the world. Covering up each other's crimes they can prove difficult to catch. ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9781398879782 • Author: Martin Knight & John Marlowe & Paul Roland • Publisher: Arcturus Publishing Ltd • Format: Paperback

Inside the Mind of The Serpent: Charles Sobraj He was handsome, eloquent … and deadly. Charles Sobhraj – nicknamed both The Serpent and The Bikini Killer – travelled the hippie trail of the 1970s, leaving stolen passports, vanished tourists and cold-blooded murders in his wake. But who was the man behind the charm? This book dives deep into the psychological makeup of one of the most manipulative killers of the 20th century. From his traumatic childhood to his obsession with control, it explores how Sobhraj used charisma, deception and calculated violence to outwit victims and authorities alike. Blending true crime narrative with forensic psychology, Inside the Mind of Charles Sobhraj is a chilling portrait of a man who treated murder like a game – and the world as his chessboard. ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9781802473827 • Author: Brad Hunter • Publisher: Ad Lib • Format: Paperback

One of the last great untold stories of the Holocaust, The Survivor is an astonishing account of one man's unbreakable spirit, unshakeable faith, and extraordinary courage in the face of evil. At only sixteen years old, Josef Lewkowicz became a number, prisoner 85314. Following the Nazi invasion of Poland, he and his father were separated from their family and herded to the Kraków-Plaszów concentration camp. Forced to carry out hard labour in brutal conditions, and to live under the constant threat of extreme violence and sudden death, before the war was over Josef would witness the unique horrors of six of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Ebensee. From salt mines to forced marches, summary executions to Amstetten, where prisoners were used as human shields in Allied bombing, Josef lived under the spectre of death for many years. When he was liberated from Ebensee at the end of the war, conditions were amongst the worst witnessed by allied forces. With his freedom, Josef returned home to find that he was the only one left alive in an extended family of 150. Compelled by the need to do something to avenge that loss, he joined the Jewish police while still in a displaced persons' camp, and was recruited as an intelligence officer for the US Army who gave him a team to search for Nazis in hiding. Whilst rounding up SS leaders, he played a critical role in identifying and bringing to justice his greatest tormentor, the Butcher of Plaszow, Amon Göth, played by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. He then committed his life to helping the orphaned children of the Holocaust rebuild their lives. ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9781837321391 • Author: Josef Lewkowicz • Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd • Format: Paperback

Jack the Ripper: A Psychic Investigation is the story of the author's journey into the heart of a mystery that has haunted the popular imagination for well over a 100 years. The grisly details both fascinate and repel, and the apparent lack of an understandable motive makes the story even more bewildering. Pamela Ball uses both astrology and channelling to cast a startling new light on a puzzle that has baffled experts ever since the gruesome murders were committed in Whitechapel back in 1888. Using her psychic skills combined with a detailed study of the political and social background of the time, she is able to shatter many of the myths and preconceptions that have built up around Jack the Ripper and points to conclusions that take us closer than we have ever been to solving the riddle of who did commit the atrocious killings. ​​​​​​​Product Information: • ISBN: 9781398879775 • Author: Pamela Ball • Publisher: Arcturus Publishing Ltd • Format: Paperback
