Description
Dr Harold Frederick Shipman was a pillar of the community, serving on local committees and donating prizes to the rugby club, yet he was also the most prolific serial killer the world has ever known, with between 200 and 300 victims.
For many years, Shipman's seemingly ordinary life as a GP was a facade, behind which he was making unexpected house calls and leaving a trail of death in his wake. It wasn't until police were called to investigate a forged will that the full extent of his crimes was revealed, leading to the biggest murder case in British history.
This book is a substantially revised and updated account of Shipman's monstrous crimes, drawn from unprecedented access to friends, colleagues and patients. It examines how he killed, how he was able to get away with it for so long, and why his victims were never suspected.
