  You wont be familiar with every one of the huge array of women featured in this book, but all, familiar or not, leave unanswered questions behind them. The range is extensive, as was the research, with its insight into the lives and minds of women in different centuries, different countries, with diverse cultures and backgrounds, from the poverty stricken to royalty. Mistresses, murderers, smugglers, pirates, prostitutes, and fanatics with hearts and souls that feature every shade of black (and grey!). From Cleopatra to Ruth Ellis, from Boudicca to Bonnie Parker, from Lady Caroline Lamb to Moll Cutpurse, from Jezebel to Ava Gardner. Less familiar names include Mary Jeffries, the Victorian brothel-keeper, Belle Starr, the American gambler and horse thief, La Voisin, the seventeenth-century Queen of all Witches in France but these are random names, to illustrate the variety of the content in store for all those interested in women who defy law and order, for whatever reason. The risque, the adventurous and the outrageous, the downright nasty and the downright desperate all human (female!) life is here. From the lower strata of society to the aristocracy, class is not a common denominator. Wicked? Misunderstood? Nave? Foolish? Predatory? Manipulative? Or just out of their time? Listen and decide.

Little did he know that he would soon be delving into the dark mind of one of America's most notorious serial killers, the “Milwaukee Cannibal” Jeffrey Dahmer. As the media clamored for details, Kennedy spent the next six weeks, sixteen hours a day, locked in an interrogation room with Dahmer. There the thirty-one-year-old killer described in lurid detail how he lured several young men to his apartment where he strangled, sexually assaulted, dismembered, and in some cases, cannibalized his victims.

  The City Council of Mendacious Crest has a historic strategy for dealing with problems: ignore it and it will go away.  The game of avoidance is over. Payment is due. The Piper must be paid. What currency does it cost them? 
  Mysterious, witty, and unapologetically bold, I Didn’t Screw the Mayor. He Screwed Me is a true political drama that unearths the principles in a predatory political system—and what it costs a Michigan businesswoman (or is she) to stand tall in the city that made her, now hellbent to break her. 
  Searing with financial betrayal, persona deception, and political cunning, the cost of getting compensated is more than suspicious.

  Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 
  The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations 
  Bristol, 1979. 
  An attacker roams the streets… 
  Young women are warned not to go out alone… 
  Enter the Decoys. 
  For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. 
  In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. 
  Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. 
  Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping non-fiction autobiography that explores the daring tactics employed by law enforcement in 1979. The book delves into the experiences of the women who served as decoys, their encounters with harassment and assault, and the social implications of their actions. 
  For fans of Jeremy Craddock (The Jigsaw Murders), David Wilson (Murder at Home), Ryan Green (Outback Outlaw), Gregg Olsen (The Amish Wife), and Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings).
