Description

This book details the lives and careers of fifteen women whose crimes have, at one time or another, stained the pages of history. Patricide, fratricide and, most terrible of all, infanticide; murder under trust; serial murder; sexually motivated killings; murders for gain or to conceal other crimes - all these and others are detailed in this fascinating study of the manifestation of true evil in women over some 2,000 years.
