Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned - True Stories of Women Who Kill

By: Wensley Clarkson

Investigative reporter Wensley Clarkson has spent years researching the most extreme and intriguing cases of women who commit murder, and this gripping collection brings together 20 of his most thrilling true stories. These are the tales of women who challenge our idea of what many still, mistakenly, often think of as the weaker sex. Their characters and backgrounds are as diverse as they are deadly, and their crimes are every bit as shocking as those of of their male counterparts. From the case of the beautiful Diana Perry, who suffered years of abuse at the hands of her husband before taking the matter into her own hands; to Bobby, a woman whose gruesome interest in blood led to one of the most horrific seduction killings ever seen.

Vanessa

A Portrait of Evil

By: Wensley Clarkson

The compelling and disturbing true story of Vanessa George and the evil abuse she doled out upon the children of more than 300 families. As a nursery worker, wife and mother, she was a figure to place trust in. Yet her adulterous relationship and sick love triangle with Colin Blanchard and Angela Allen drew her into a dark world of violence and sexual abuse. To compete for Blanchard's attention she would do everything in her power to impress him, even if this meant committing unspeakable acts of sexual violence on children as young as two years old. What could have driven a mother to betray not only her daughters and loving husband, but the very families who entrusted her with their children? How could a seemingly caring women become engaged in a sordid and vile love triangle with a man and woman she had never met? Were there events in her own childhood that pushed her to commit these acts? True crime expert Wensley Clarkson pieces together the events surrounding the case as well as new investigative research to compile a fascinating yet disturbing account of a case which shocked a nation. We may never know the full extent of Vanessa George's cruelty, but the horror of her story will remain as a chilling memory for generations.

Cruise Control

By: Wensley Clarkson

Over the last two decades, Tom Cruise has steered himself coolly to superstardom--and of the screen names today, his is the biggest. From the start, his fine acting, boy-next-door looks, and winning smile ensured him a place at the top of Hollywood's A-list, and his increasingly fine performances in films like Vanilla Sky, Magnolia, Minority Report, and Eyes Wide Shut have kept him there. Author Wensley Clarkson has spent years interviewing those close to the actor, and in this perceptively written profile, he reveals a complex and intriguing personality who, from his teens, has been driven by a potent combination of talent, ambition, personal demons, and the need for total control in every area of his life.

The Mother From Hell - She Murdered Her Daughters and Turned Her Sons into Murderers

By: Wensley Clarkson

To friends and neighbours, Theresa Knorr was a devoted, loving mother struggling to bring up five children on her own. Little did they know that, behind closed doors, the same woman was driven by religious extremism, terrible paranoia and an all-consuming jealousy of her daughters' beauty that led to one of the worst cases of serial abuse in history. For years Theresa subjected her offspring to a barbaric variety of physical and mental torture, culminating in her ordering her two sons to drug, torture and then burn alive one of their sisters before starving another to death. Terrified that she would be next, a third sister had to take action. When the police found her story too far-fetched, she was left with no choice but to escape the house of horrors and fight for justice. It was years before the full, shocking truth came out. This is the true story of a family unit twisted out of all recognition by a mother who perpetrated the most evil of crimes.

Car Trouble

A Childhood on Four Wheels

By: Wensley Clarkson

Wensley Clarkson's mum and dad lived on a different planet from most parents as he grew up in post-war London in the late 1950s and '60s. His mother spent much of her time nursing a tumbler of whisky and a bottle of pills, while his father edited one of Britain's bestselling weekly newspapers. Most children were taken to playgrounds and parks to play, but Wensley was left sitting in the front seat of the family saloon car outside pubs for hours with a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps. As a result, he got a taste for driving at a dangerously early age and created his own strange motoring netherworld away from the boozy, irresponsible, childish adults he was supposed to look up to. Car Trouble presents a portrait of a middle-class boy virtually left to run his own life in one of the world's biggest cities. Yet through that neglect emerged a quick-witted survivor whose life was uniquely shaped by his childhood obsession with cars.

The bond between a mother and daughter is like no other. But in the case of the Knorr family, with deranged and deluded mother Theresa Knorr at its head, the love and trust that a child naturally places in a parent was grotesquely betrayed under a perverse and terrible set of circumstances. To friends and neighbours, dark-haired Theresa was a devoted, loving mother struggling to bring up five children on her own. Little did they know that, behind closed doors, the same woman was driven by religious extremism, terrible paranoia and an all-consuming jealousy of her daughters' beauty that led to one of the worst cases of serial abuse and murder in history. This is the true story of a family unit twisted out of all recognition by a mother who perpetrated the most evil of crimes. A story that would not have been told was it not for one surviving daughter.

Killing Charlie

The Bloody, Bullet-riddled Hunt for the Most Powerful Great Train Robber of All

By: Wensley Clarkson

Killing Charlie charts the extraordinary rise and spectacular fall of Charlie Wilson, the most powerful villain to emerge from the most notorious British crime of the twentieth century: the Great Train Robbery. Wilson's life story is one of greed, corruption and an eventual descent into a living hell when his rivals decided to wipe him off the face of the earth - with the tacit approval of Spanish, British and US drug enforcement agencies. Although he first made his name in the underworld at the time of the Great Train Robbery, it was during his reign as a drug emperor that Wilson's reputation as an all-powerful character capable of cold-blooded brutality on one hand and immense kindness on the other helped confirm his status as a legendary criminal. Killing Charlie takes us on a roller-coaster ride through five decades of the London underworld, including a long spell on the Costa del Crime and forays into the deadliest killing fields of all: South America. Meticulously researched, it uses a strong narrative to pull the reader into Wilson's bizarre, sordid, crime-filled world - one that took him from the mean streets of south London to even harsher prison corridors, and from a quiet life in small-town Canada to the heated, manic, cocaine-fuelled Costa del Sol. A complex web of killings, armed robberies and multi-million-pound drug deals lay behind the criminal life and times of Wilson. His story also provides a history of organised crime in Britain, starting when Jack Spot faded out in the '50s as the Krays came to prominence and ending with Wilson's own violent demise in the '90s. Containing interviews with many of Charlie Wilson's former associates, Killing Charlie reveals how Wilson struck fear into many other criminals; how his love of pretty women almost cost him his life; and how he desperately tried to 'retire', only to discover the inevitable - that gangsters never rest in peace.

The Real Silent Witnesses

Shocking cases from the World of Forensic Science

By: Wensley Clarkson

Going beyond the popular TV show, this is the true story of forensic science from those who solve crimes without witnesses. How do you identify a serial killer? What are the tell-tale signs of guilt? Can we now solve the unsolvable? Since even before the first season of Silent Witness in 1996, forensic science has played an increasingly important role in the investigation of violent crimes. With a boom in cold-blooded cases throughout the 1980s, police began to rely on DNA evidence to help them find perpetrators and since then forensic science has taken off as a powerful tool in solving murders. Bestselling true crime author Wensley Clarkson takes us beyond the headlines to examine the real-life stories where forensics have played a crucial role. He speaks to experts who have worked on the most gruesome, most chilling and most shocking crime scenes and explains how notorious criminal cases from across the world were solved. And he shows how the silent witness is often the one who screams the loudest.

Moody

The Life and Crimes of Britain's Most Notorious Hitman

By: Wensley Clarkson

In the 1970s, Jimmy Moody joined a team of criminals to form the Chainsaw Gang, who went on to become that decade's most successful armed robbers. In 1980, Moody was in Brixton Prison awaiting trial for his pivotal role with the gang, when his life took its next dramatic twist. One of his fellow inmates was Provisional IRA hero Gerard Tuite and the two men joined forces with a third inmate to pull off a dramatic jailbreak. Moody was never recaptured, and soon his murderous skills were being put to use in Northern Ireland. His secretive freelance hits struck so much fear into the province's security services, that the Thatcher government put a three-man SAS hit squad on his tail. By the early 1990s, Jimmy Moody's list of enemies read like a who's who of criminals and authorities from both sides of the water. Enhanced by exclusive contributions from Moody's family and the IRA's Gerard Tuite, this sensational story expertly documents each chapter of Moody's violent, crime-filled life.
