Description

The Lost British Serial Killer by David Wilson and Paul Harrison is a shocking true crime investigation into one of Britain's most infamous murder cases. In 2007, Peter Tobin was charged with the murders of two young women who went missing in 1991. The authors examine the case, including details of Tobin's trial, as well as other similar cases around the country where DNA testing is helping to bring perpetrators to justice. As new DNA tests become more sophisticated, police are closing in on a range of high-profile murders. With recent major arrests and further expected, Harrison and Wilson investigate these cases and ask how this technology will change police investigations. They also consider whether it will be enough to prevent future murders and if there are larger societal issues that need addressing. The authors' in-depth look at the case and its implications raises important questions about the role of DNA testing in crime-solving and the broader social factors that contribute to violence.
