About Infamous True Crimes and Trials Volume #1 By Guy Hadleigh
This book has ten separate stories, each one depicting a particular type of crime, and with three separate parts.
It will be FREE from Oct 1st to 5th on Amazon Kindle.
The introduction and background to each describes relevant historical and modern examples of savage murders, brutal rapes, rampant corruption and sexual intrigue with a generous infusion of blood, gore and evil, shocking behavior. It also offers insights into how the general public reacted to these crimes, and how the perpetrators functioned in society and lured their victims.
The second part details real case examples like mass murderer Mary Ann Cotton, The Soft Soap Killer who was thought to have disposed of up to 21 people – including her own mother; three husbands; 15 children (5 of whom were her own); one of her best friends and at least one lover.
The last section is a detailed description of an infamous trial, such as Peter Kurten, The Vampire of Dusseldorf. Not just a psychopath, but a walking cauldron of perverse criminality. A sadistic sex maniac, brutal rapist, blood lusting vampire, murderous strangler, knife wielding stabber and violent hammer killer. He committed bestiality, became sexually aroused when witnessing traffic accidents and gained sexual release from planning disasters with hundreds of victims.

Author Bio:
Originally from the UK I moved to Thailand over 17 years ago – great food, weather and people. As for my career, well most of it is behind me now, but I’ve spent time in the military and traveled extensively. Although still working for a living I have plenty of spare time. It’s too hot to work out as much as I used to, and I don’t like alcohol enough to become an expert drinker, (although admit to enjoying the occasional cold beer or three.
My wonderful Thai partner of 13 years is an avid plant grower with a large passionate following online who always seem keen to buy and ask advice from her. With her in the garden and me on the computer a lot of the time we don’t see each other that much. A perfect relationship 🙂
I began writing true crime stories a few years ago and have since become totally absorbed by the subject. I hope you find it as fascinating as me and enjoy my books.
