HAROLD SHIPMAN Mind Set on Murder. Why Shipman Killed and Killed Again

Hardback. Harold Shipman was convicted of 15 murders, but it is now believed that he committed in the region of 260, over a period of 30yrs, before he aroused suspicion. Drawing on testimonies from those close to Shipman and his victims, Shipman's own prison letters, police audio and video tapes, and analysis from criminal psychologists and detectives involved in the case, the author traces the story of how the popular GP became Britain's most prolific serial killer, and why he felt compelled to kill.
