Masters of Crime: Studies of Multiple Murders (Indian Economy Reprint)

Masters of Crime: Studies of Multiple Murders is a classic and penetrating examination of some of the most complex and disturbing forms of criminal behaviour, serial and multiple homicide. Written with a strong analytical lens, the book explores the psychology, motives, behavioural patterns and social contexts of multiple murderers, drawing on detailed case-based narratives to explain how such crimes develop and how offenders operate over time.
