Killing for Pleasure: The Definitive Story of the Snowtown Serial Murders by Debi Marshall

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned.

The bestselling account of one of South Australia's worst series of crimes - the bodies in the barrels. A disused bank vault holding eight dismembered bodies immersed in barrels of acid. Two bodies were buried in a suburban backyard. A further two were found in the bush. Such were the findings of one of South Australia's most horrific murder trials.

Journalist and author Debi Marshall explores the killers' psychopathic makeup in minute and harrowing detail. Marshall covers the exhaustive trials and interviews the lawyers who ran them. Through interviews, she captures the voices of the victim's families, examines the police and forensic investigations, and then wades into the social structure that spawned the people in this story. This book served as a primary source for the acclaimed Australian feature film Snowtown. (Trove)
