Description

A Dangerous Place: The Story of the Railway Murders by Simon Farquhar is a comprehensive account of one of Britain's most notorious serial killer cases. In 1982, two men began striking near lonely railway stations in London and the Home Counties, committing rape and murder over the next four years. A massive police investigation ensued, involving three forces and cutting-edge technology at the time. The case was solved through brilliant detection, but not before it had a profound impact on British policing. This book tells the story of John Duffy and David Mulcahy, two serial killers who operated in the 1980s, as well as the women whose lives were affected by their crimes. The author's access to unprecedented sources makes this a unique and detailed exploration of one of the most significant cases of its kind. Through the eyes of a police officer's son, this book sheds new light on a case that introduced psychological profiling and computer technology into British policing. It is a story of crime, detection, and justice, and a tribute to the courage of those who brought the perpetrators to justice.
