  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
  But first, they give me their confessions. 
  My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
  Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
  The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
  Inside this book are 4 Deathbed Confessions:One patient spent nineteen summers at the same lake. He knows exactly what the water does with what goes into it.One patient was everyone's favourite camp counsellor for twenty-two years. The children loved him. Some of them didn't survive it.One patient worked the shooting gallery every summer on the travelling fair circuit. The targets he chose weren't always on the range.One patient managed the guest experience at a luxury Gulf Coast resort for sixteen years. Twelve guests never checked out. 
  WARNING: There is swearing in this book. These are dark, graphic confessions — gore, violence, and disturbing content throughout. Some stories may be a trigger for things you have a hard time handling. But these are the confessions of serial killers and mass murderers. 
  That's what summer is.

  DECADES OF ABUSE. 
  DOZENS OF VICTIMS. 
  NO CONSEQUENCES. 
  To the public, he was the eccentric owner of one of the world’s great department stores. But behind closed doors, Al-Fayed ruled with cruelty, humiliation and unchecked abuse.Why were his crimes ignored?Why did those in power look the other way? 
  This explosive investigation lays bare the power, corruption and complicity at the heart of an iconic British institution. 
  Drawing on firsthand interviews with former staff, allies, executives and police officers, The Monster of Harrods exposes chilling accounts of misconduct, many revealed here for the first time. Through court records, testimonies and unpublished material, the book uncovers:The irreparable damage to victims’ livesThe NDAs, threats and systemic failures that kept them silentThe staggering indifference of those who knew but did nothing 
  This isn’t just about one man’s abuse of power – it’s about the culture that enabled him. The Monster of Harrods presents damning new evidence, and asks urgent questions of the people and institutions who stood by. 
  Ultimately, this is a book about courage – the courage of the survivors who have stepped forward to reclaim their narratives from a man who tried to reduce them to objects. Their testimony stands as both an indictment of the past and a warning for the future. 
  Their bravery demands nothing less than our complete attention. 
  'The extraordinary courage of these survivors, who, despite everything, were willing to relive their trauma in hope of finally being heard, should not be underestimated. Many have waited decades for acknowledgement, carrying their wounds in silence while their abuser was celebrated.' 
  This non-fiction true investigation reads with the force of a biography, exposing how business interests and political connexions protected criminals for years. By confronting sexual assault and violence head-on, it reveals what society loses when social power is allowed to operate without consequence. 
  For fans of Jonny Wilkinson (Jonny), Trystan Bevan (Our Race), and Rachel Murphy (Loose Head).
