True Crime Stories: A Compendium of the Darkest Side of Humanity


London's Victorian, all-female gang, the notorious East End Lads, were a group of fearless women who ruled the streets with violence and crime. Their exploits, which included robberies, burglaries, and even murder, captivated the public and made them household names.


The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist is another unforgettable tale of crime. In 1970, a group of thieves broke into a warehouse and stole over $1 million worth of maple syrup. The heist was so daring and well-executed that it remains one of the most famous crimes in Canadian history.


And then there's the story of the killer nun. Sister Margaret Ann Montgomery was a Catholic nun who murdered two of her fellow nuns in the 1960s. Her motives were believed to be financial gain and a desire to control her fellow sisters. The case was a sensation and captivated the public, with many people wondering how a woman of the cloth could commit such heinous acts.


These are just a few of the terrifying tales of gruesome murders, grand theft, and kidnappings that fill this compendium of the worst side of humanity. Prepare yourself for the urge to sleep with the light on and to double-check you've locked the door, because this collection of true crime stories is not for the faint-hearted.


Spanning criminal activity from across the world, this book will take you on a journey to the darkest reaches of human nature. Ranging from white-collar criminals and con artists to kidnappers and killers, there's plenty to shred your nerves.


Whether you're a true crime junkie or just morbidly curious, let these stories of charismatic criminals and their sinister deeds ensnare your interest and send a shiver down your spine.
