Are we all capable of murder? It would seem so given the human frailties of greed, hate, lust and even love. More disturbing are the fleeting acts of sheer animal rage and momentary insanity in otherwise unremarkable people. In his new book, exploring 20th century murder cases drawn from all parts of the area, David Kidd-Hewitt takes the reader to the heart of the ultimate crime - the untimely death of an innocent victim by violent murder.
