On the shelf? Just pop in.
What drives seemingly ordinary individuals to commit unimaginable acts of evil? In the case of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, this question has haunted Britain for decades. Known as the 'Moors Murderers', this notorious pair lured, abducted, and ultimately murdered five innocent children, subjecting them to unspeakable horrors. Their actions, documented in photographs and recordings, have left a lasting scar on the national consciousness. Michael Attwell presents a comprehensive examination of this chilling chapter in British history. With nearly fifty years of dedicated research, Attwell seeks to understand how the pair transformed into figures of unspeakable evil.
