It features –

Crimes of Sadism.

Neville Heath - suave and sinister.  In June 1946 the pubs and clubs of London were crowded with servicemen enjoying the good life after 6 years of war.  Petty theft and the Black Market thrived, but a much more sinister crime would soon send shockwaves through the nation.

Peter Kurten - dapper and deadly.  Dusseldorf in the late 1920s was a city of fear.  In a dreadful catalogue of murders, men, women and children had all fallen victim to a sadistic killer.  The murderer was a man who had learnt torture as a child.

The crazed 'Black Dahlia Avenger' - who may still be at large.  In Los Angeles, in 1947, the discovery of the savagely mutilated body of a young woman sparked a massive police investigation.  The press followed revelations avidly, but the killer's identity remained elusive.

All found pleasure in the frenzied infliction of pain, to the point of death.
