Medics and carers hold the lives of their patients in the balance.
They see us at our most vulnerable, and we trust them utterly. Yet there
are those who abuse this trust in the medical profession and take
advantage of their position to commit the most hideous crimes.
In this gripping account, readers can discover the chilling stories of
these cold-hearted killers. Some kill because of a twisted sense of
mercy. Others let their monstrous egos take over as they seek to prove
themselves the hero by rescuing those they harmed themselves. And then
there are those who simply delight in the power over life and death.
Whatever their motivation, these killers can go undetected for years,
racking up huge body counts before they are finally discovered.
Contains 35 atrocious cases, including:
- Charles Cullen, who is believed to have killed nearly 400 people
during his 16-year stint as a nurse;
- Harold Shipman, who killed as many as 200 of his patients
- Genene Jones, who kept being hired even after babies continued to die
under her watch
- Donald Harvey, who murdered to 'ease the pain' of his victims.
- and many more.
Featuring unsettling images of these criminals, Angels of Death casts
a light on the men and women who preyed on their own patients and their
twisted motivations for doing so.
