Title: Missing Bodies: Description:
No corpse, no proof, no crime? In this grisly new study, master of true crime Brian Marriner explores the horrifying delusion of the most calculating of murderers: that disposal of the body eliminates all proof of guilt. In his characteristic style Marriner painstakingly draws on historical evidence and modern criminal records to unearth the appalling facts - from mutiny and piracy on the high seas to the case of Muriel McKay whose body was believed to have been fed to pigs by her kidnappers. Finally, he reveals the fascinating forensic discoveries which resulted in conviction - such as the shark who regurgitated the arm of a young woman, thrown mercilessly into shark-infested waters. Missing Bodies is the ultimate collection of murder case studies for the most hardened true crime enthusiast

Title: A New Century Of Sex Killers: Description:
A classic study of sex crime has now been fully revised and brought up to date, including in-depth accounts of recent killers such as Andre Chikatilo, "The Russian Vampire", Jack Unterweger, the sex-crazed poet and Robert Black, the murdering paedophile. A New Century Of Sex Killes confirms Brian Marriner as the leading authority in his field. No work brings home quite so vividly the true horror which lies dormant in the human mind. The link between violence and sex is truly frightening. Marriner understands this - but he leaves nothing out. This is the definitive work on crime motivated by the corruption of the sex drive.
