About this ebook
A deep dive into the lives and crimes of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley—featuring newly released photos from a collection called “The Tartan Album.”
In the mid-1960s, the serenity of Saddleworth Moor was forever interrupted, even if people didn’t yet know it, as the area became a grave for the innocent child victims of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
The couple’s vile torture and killings have shaken up British history ever since, with the couple often considered two of the most evil people to have lived. However, the public still have many questions about who they were and how their dysfunctional relationship operated.
In this book, many artifacts become public for the first time, including photographs from Ian Brady’s “Tartan Album,” police interviews and witness statements, which shed vital new light on Brady, Hindley and the dangerous cocktail their union became.
“The research—wow, the research—is painstaking and impeccable, allowing a well-constructed narrative that takes the reader in a tried and tested winning formula chronologically through each of the pair’s crimes . . . THE most fascinating study of what many consider to be the most disturbing crimes of the twentieth century that I have ever read—and for me, it has now replaced Devil’s Disciples, and even the canonical, Beyond Belief as THE definitive study of Brady and Hindley.” —The True Crime Enthusiast
