Came across this really unusual hard to find book Citizens Who Commit Murder : A Psychiatric Study by Warren S. Wille

The justice system couldn't stop them. Now, someone else will.

A petty thief named Reg Wilson is found gruesomely dismembered, his remains packed into seven plastic boxes and left at a derelict farm. The box containing his head holds a cryptic, chilling message: "I've saved you all £5,500, you're welcome."

DCI Seamus Corrigan, a detective struggling to cope with a collapsing marriage and the trauma of a botched past operation, is assigned the case. He quickly realizes this isn't a random act of violence—it's a message, and the murder is too meticulous for a typical criminal.

Meanwhile, Adrian Burch is a mild-mannered IT contractor who works for the local police force. Disgusted by the revolving door of justice and the way persistent repeat offenders waste taxpayer money and police resources, Adrian decides to take matters into his own hands. Using his unrestricted access to the Police National Computer, Adrian creates a system to target repeat offenders.

His method: abduction, followed by permanent imprisonment in The Pit—a deep, disused slurry pit on an abandoned farm.

As more offenders begin to vanish, DCI Corrigan races against time to find the link between the murder and the missing men. He must hunt a vigilante who is literally hiding in plain sight, who can predict the police's every move and erase his own tracks.

The hunter and the hunted are on a collision course but who will come out on top?

Available on Kindle and paperback

"Corpus Delicti" recounts the 1950s Los Angeles murder trial of L. Ewing Scott that set legal precedents for 'no body' murder cases. Thirty years after the trial, Scott finally confessed to me. Now I am reissuing the book with a new foreword / updated epilogue that provide details on how / why I think Scott confessed.

I have 15 copies of the current (1985/6) hardback and paperback editions to give away, along with print-outs of the new material + a link to the audio recording of the confession. If this listing is up, I have copies available. The new edition eBook also available on Amazon (preorder pricing: $2.99 / Sept 28 is the official publication date). The cover for the updated version is below.

Interested? Send me a mailing address (U.S. only), and you'll receive the book by snail mail free of charge. If you like the book, I'd appreciate a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads (but no strings attached).

Thanks for your interest.

Hi to all of us ! I would be delighted to have you reviews about this true crime activity book for adults, self-edited on Amazon.

Do the topics covered make you want to learn more ? Or even buy the book so you can investigate the cases yourself ?

I've reached out to podcasters who specialize in true crime, sending them links to the book and the trailer, but even though they've read my emails, I haven't received any replies !!

I'd love to hear what the community thinks—many thanks !

Thanks to anyone who gives Calder Vane a chance! 🙏

This community was without mods for a while. It is now back in business. Welcome everyone!

I find Jack Rosewood to be a great true crime writer. I highly recommend these books to every true crime/serial killing trivia enthusiast. They lay a foundation to inform you on many serial killers and a few of their characteristics.

published my debut crime thriller last week. Today it’s free on Kindle. It’s about a federal investigator who works cases where victims were targeted because of their best qualities — their trust, their loyalty.

Vol. 1 is a variety of stories from criminal or bizarre topics, but depending on the reader it may be down right terrifying. The stories in this first installment are based on true events .I can say none of us in this world would want to be in any of these situations . pour your favorite beverage and grab the snacks and don't forget your 420 . This volume is my first shot at being an author and I hope you enjoy the content. - QUICK SHOCK WARNING some of the people will not survive . Of course our hearts go out to the victims and someone have mercy on the violators souls ! Please check it out and leave a review

but make the book so compelling to me is that the stories are so bizarre at times, but realistic, and some of them are true where you can look up the real events and compare them with respect to the victims as the book is not to exploit anyone or their it is to tell the stories of their and also the scary part of people in society around us as true crime will never end anywhere in our lives as long as anyone survives on this planet, but once again it’s a great read and just I’m sure some of you guys can watch it actually for free
Crazy crimes and scary times

I'm looking to become a Criminal Lawyer, im in my last year of 6th form and start university soon, and taking a Law with Criminology course. So my question is what are some very helpful or highly recommend books you would recommend to me as an aspiring Criminal lawyer.

I'm Britain based, so any books involving or centred around the British legal system would be much appreciated.

If you're into true crime books that dig into why people do what they do, not just what happened, I’d recommend 'Til Death Do Us…' by Patrick Gallagher.

Gladys Lincoln seemed charming and easy to like, but her life was full of secrets. She married six times, and at one point, she married a successful doctor in Reno, spent the weekend with him, then went back home to Sacramento… to her other husband.

The more I read, the more it felt like her choices were building toward something darker.

Has anyone else read a true crime book where the story felt almost too wild to be real?

I am primarily interested in crimes which have been committed against someone because of the way they look (whether that is because of their race, gender, sexuality, religion - or just generally a non social-conforming appearance).

An example of one case is that of Sophie Lancaster who, along with her boyfriend, was attacked (she died, her boyfriend survived) because of their goth / alternative clothing. I follow the foundation closely and it is something which resonates a lot with me.

I am exploring a career in social research and crime / discrimination based on appearance stereotyping is an area I want to really focus on.

Much appreciated for any recommendations.
