32 Twisted True Crime Stories of Murder & Mayhem 3 Book Collection - First Three Books of the True Crime Case Histories Series *** This series can be read in any order *** A quick word of warning. The true crime short stories within this three-book collection are unimaginably gruesome. I start all of my True Crime books with a quick word of warning. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the vile details of truly horrible crimes. In my books, I don’t gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. I try to give my readers a clear and accurate description of just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in these books are not for the squeamish. What you are about to read are my first three books. The stories in this collection will make you realize just how fragile the human mind can be. A sampling of the 32 stories includes: The Canal Killer - A violent psychopath cuts off the head, hands, and feet of his girlfriends and dumps them in the canals of London and Rotterdam. The Head in the Bucket - A drug kingpin chops off the head of one of his dealers and carries it around in a Home Depot bucket. Captain Cash - Another drug dealer butchers an entire family so he can take over a man’s fruit shipping business and transform it into a drug shipping business.

They're raw, honest, and sometimes hard to read, but impossible to put down."
