The Devil Knows by David J Cooper

A perverse couple who wanted to commit the perfect crime.

In the early 1960s, residents of Manchester, England were horrified by the sadistic murders of five local youngsters between the ages of 10 and 17. Known as The Moors Murders, the perpetrators of the crime spree--Myra Hindley and Ian Brady--showed absolutely no remorse for what they had done, nor did they serve up any explanation for why they targeted their particular victims. Upon conviction, the pair received consecutive life sentences rather than execution, the death penalty having been abolished a few months before their arrest.

This book is about their perverse relationship and how they lured their victims to their horrible deaths.

Will the body of Keith Bennett ever be found?

Are there other bodies buried on the moors?

Buy The Devil Knows today if you would like to know what makes a seemingly normal couple want to commit such heinous crimes.
