Book description
An account of two people - Fred and Rose West - who lived together,
raised (and killed) children, provided sexual services for anyone
interested, and pretended to provide social services for single women.
Investigated and told by one of the greatest journalists and writers
of the last twenty years, this is the most powerful and upsetting true
crime book you will ever read.
Gordon Burn was the author of four novels, Alma Cogan (winner of
the Whitbread First Novel Prize), Fullalove, The North of England Home
Service and Born Yesterday. He was also the author of the non-fiction
titles Somebody's Husband, Somebody's Son, Pocket Money, Happy Like
Murderers, On The Way to Work (with Damien Hirst) and Best and
Edwards. His last book, Sex & Violence, Death and Silence, was a
collection of his essays on art.
