Harold Shipman was convicted for 15 murders, but it is now believed that he committed in the region of 260, over a period of 30 years, before he aroused suspicion.
Drawing on testimonies from those close to Shipman and his victims, Shipman's own prison letters, police audio and video tapes, and analysis from criminal pyschologists and detectives involved in the case, this compelling book traces the story of how the popular GP became Britain's most prolific serial killer, and why he felt compelled to kill.
