In this collection of cases, the author concentrates upon the mistakes made by a fascinating array of international killers, and shows what happens when an otherwise cautious and calculating killer makes an error. The cases range from a killing late at night in Berlin’s largest cinema (Karl Urban), to a murder in Manchester that centred upon a journey taken by a four-wheeler, from the most incongruous murder team in the annals of crime to the incredible wrecking of a plane, from a bogus fire in an English seaside resort (Sidney Fox), to a bogus rattlesnake bite in California (Robert James), from a quartet of killings in Madrid (Jose Maria Jarabo) to a mysterious disappearance in Brittany.
