‎The Deadly Professionals : Twelve Murderers From The Professions‎

‎Hutchinson UK 1976. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Fair. 192 pages. Surface tear to front of dust jacket . Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Dust jacket has light creasing superficial rubbing and mild foxing. Edges of dust jacket have moderate bumping superficial wear and moderate chips and/or tears. Dust jacket is unclipped. Page edges are lightly browned and mildly foxed. Pages are lightly tanned and lightly creased. The subject is the killing by persons with professional training of those they wish removed forcibly from their lives and the examples chosen have at times a genuinely nightmarish quality. Included are an Italian Society doctor and a former SS doctor both of whom became killers in the name of love as did an American banker who sent a bomb hundreds of miles by post! Two village priests in France offer bizarre contrast to a married priest of the Church of England though all were determined killers while a lawyer who sought to buy violent death for cash compares strangely with the young woman schoolteacher who was prepared to do her own killing when she thought her future was threatened. There are twelve such cases covering a century in time reaching across a large portion of the world. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0091266505. ISBN/EAN: 9780091266509.
