Fact is never more strange than fiction than when it comes to crime, and the crimes described here are so bizarre it’s inconceivable that they could have been made up.

In this all-new collection of truly unusual crimes, a sequel to the bestselling Mammoth Book of Bizarre Crimes, Odell and Donnelley tell the extraordinary stories of criminal acts far stranger than any fiction, including the murder of Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace by spree-killer Andrew Cunanan and the killing of intern Chandra Ann Levy, who had had an affair with US Representative Gary Condit, though he was cleared of any involvement in her murder.

They reveal how Danilo Restivo was eventually convicted of the murder of Heather Barnett in England after the ritualistic placing of hair connected him to another murder in Italy. They tell the terrible story of the inexplicably brutal murder, over a number of days, of 15-year-old Kristy Bamu by his sister and her lover because they believed him to be practising ‘witchcraft’. They also give a chilling account of the thirty-one-year-old mother-of-two, Joanna Dennehy, who killed three men. ‘I started killing,’ she said, ‘to see if I was as cold as I thought I was. Then it got moreish and I got a taste for it.’
