Brady and Hindley: Genesis of the Moors Murders

Description

The shocking true crime story of child murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, Great Britain's most horrific serial killers. During the early 1960s, just as Beatlemania was exploding throughout the United Kingdom, a pair of psychopathic British killers began preying on the very young, innocent, and helpless of Greater Manchester. Between 1963 and 1965, Ian Brady and his lover and partner, Myra Hindley, were responsible for the abduction, rape, torture, and murder of five young victims, ranging in age from ten to seventeen years old. The English press dubbed the grisly series of homicides "the Moors Murders," named for the desolate landscape where three of the corpses were eventually discovered. Based in part on the author's face-to-face prison interviews with the killers, Fred Harrison's fascinating and disturbing true crime masterwork digs deeply into Brady and Hindley's personal histories to examine the factors that led to their mutual attraction and their evolution into the UK's most notorious pair of human monsters. It was during these interviews that new details about the killers' terrible crimes surfaced, compelling the police to reopen what was arguably the most shocking and sensational homicide case in the annuls of twentieth-century British crime. With a new introduction by the author, meticulously researched and compellingly written, Brady and Hindley is the definitive account of Britain's most hated serial killers.;Cover Page; Title Page; Introduction; Contents; Part One: Genesis; Chapter 1 The Psychopath; Chapter 2 The Street Fighter; Chapter 3 The Gorton Girls; Chapter 4 Folie à Deux; Part Two: Consecration; Chapter 5 The Dance; Chapter 6 The Death; Chapter 7 Myra's Curse; Chapter 8 Hand of Fate; Part Three: The Cult; Chapter 9 Homicide as Ritual; Chapter 10 The Killing Creed; Chapter 11 The Missing Murder; Chapter 12 The Baptism; Part Four: Confession; Chapter 13 The Trial; Chapter 14 Spirits Apart; Chapter 15 Parable of Mektoub; Chapter 16 The Monster Cried; Image Gallery; Acknowledgments.
