«Women — the most successful, cautious, precise, methodical… serial killers. On average, they manage to kill for eight years — twice as long as the average male maniac,» — asserts researcher Michael Kelleher, author of the sensational work «The Rarest Killers.»
Why do women choose the path of serial killers? What are their motives? In what circumstances do they commit their brutal crimes?
These and other questions are answered in the book by Oleg Mazurin, in which the reader will learn about the lives and crimes of 10 famous women killers — from Queen Mary I Tudor of England, aristocrats Agrippina the Younger, Lucrezia Borgia, Elizabeth Báthory and Darya Saltykova to commoners Jane Toppan, Bella Sorensen Gannes, Bonnie Parker, Elsa Koch, and Eileen Wuornos.
They are united by a common passion — to command the life and death of others.
