    About this ebook

    From the stomach-churning to the truly bizarre, the details of some of history’s weirdest and most shocking murder cases are collected in this enthralling volume. The criminals covered here all perpetrated crimes with a peculiar twist, among them Enriqueta Marti, who kidnapped children then boiled away their flesh and crushed their bones to make ingredients for her lucrative “magic potions;” and Randy Kraft—better known as the Scorecard Killer—who was a computer genius by day and a deranged psychopath by night with more than 150 victims to his name. From high-profile murders to long-forgotten slayings, these are the world’s most peculiar crimes.

      This book is subtitled True Stories That Will Shock and Amaze You , maybe it says more about me than about the crimes but I wasn't shocked or amazed.
