  The Astonishing History of...

  Throughout history, the act of assassination has been a tool of power, vengeance, and politics, often carried out in the shadows and shrouded in secrecy. From the ancient world to modern times, assassins have played pivotal roles in shaping the course of history. Yet, the nature of assassination has evolved, reflecting the complex interplay of politics, culture, and technology across the centuries. This book seeks to unravel the astonishing history of assassins, exploring their origins, their methods, and the lasting impact they have had on world events. 
    
  In ancient civilizations, assassination was often a political tool, employed by rulers, rebels, and conquerors alike. It was a means of securing power, removing enemies, or solidifying control over vast empires. The first known assassins operated in ancient Egypt, Persia, and Rome, where rulers and military leaders sought to eliminate their adversaries in the most covert and deadly ways possible. Over time, the practice would evolve, becoming more organized and ritualized, with the establishment of secretive cults like the Hashashin, who would later influence both the Crusades and the broader history of the Middle East. 
    
  As time progressed, the nature of assassination became more sophisticated. In the medieval world, political intrigue was rife, and assassins found themselves at the heart of royal courts, hired to remove monarchs or their rivals in clandestine operations. The Italian Renaissance, with its complex web of political factions, provided fertile ground for the rise of professional assassins. Meanwhile, during the Age of Revolution, assassination became both a tool of rebellion and a strategy for suppressing dissent, influencing the outcomes of revolutions that reshaped Europe and the rest of the world.

  “I was born and broken in Birkenhead, abused from infancy by a network of every kind of pervert from ‘thinks it’s love’ to ‘show it hurts’. I was unwanted, beaten, sold, swapped, photographed, filmed, left for dead, corrupted, blamed, betrayed, ignored and orphaned. 
  But I was also born with a fire inside me. I call it my Phoenix Fire. I am no victim – that word only describes what happened to me. Nor am I a survivor because that implies I am over it. I am a Phoenix – a work in progress. This is my story…”-"I found Broken very painful (in fact, I remain haunted by its contents). Shy is trying hard to make the world a safer place for my children."― Observer 
  "Beaten, left for dead and raped from the age of four, but now a national campaigner - Shy Keenan, we salute you."― Eve magazine

  Explore the grizzly tale of Charleston's most infamous serial killers from the beginning of their reign of horror till their eventual incarceration and execution. 
   
   
   
  In 1819, a young man outwitted death at the hands of John and Lavinia Fisher and sparked the hunt for Charleston's most notorious serial killers. Former homicide investigator Bruce Orr follows the story of the Fishers, from the initial police raid on their Six Mile Inn with its reportedly grisly cellar to the murderous couple's incarceration and execution at the squalid Old City Jail. Yet there still may be more sinister deeds left unpunished, an overzealous sheriff, corrupt officials, and documents only recently discovered all suggest that there is more to the tale. Orr uncovers the mysteries and debunks the myths behind the infamous legend of the nation's first convicted female serial killer.
