- Summary:
-
Murder, to intentionally take a human life, is one of the gravest crimes it is possible to commit. What brings people to kill? What goes through their minds? In most cases, the perpetrator of the crime is male. Forensic medical scientist and toxicologist Dr William J. Allender has left expertise to solving some of Australia's most publicised crimes over more than three decades. Following on from his popular Expert Witness books, he is back with a selection of 20 case stories where the perpetrators are female. Generally, the victim is a spouse or lover, and often metal illness or drug addition plays a role. In some particularly tragic cases the victim is the woman's innocent child. Dark Dames, Dastardly Deeds includes cases in which the author was personally involved as well as a selection of earlier stories from both Australia and overseas.
