Never to be Released by Paul B. Kidd

Each year in Australia crimes are committed that are so evil that their perpetrators are sentenced to the maximum punishment that the law allows. And, as there is no death penalty in Australia, these worst-of-the-worst offenders are sent to prison for life: 'never to be released'.

In this, his third book on the subject, Paul B. Kidd looks at such notorious cases as:

• the housewife who skinned her de-facto husband, cooked his head in a pot and served up parts of him for dinner
• the drug-addled gangster who executed two complete strangers fighting in front of a Sydney hotel
• the mild-mannered serial rapist and vicious murderer who was so ordinary looking that his victims trusted him immediately -- time and time again
• the remorseless armed robber who executed two police officers on a stake-out
• and the serial killer, one of whose 'victims' turned up alive in the middle of his trial for her murder

These are just a few of Paul B. Kidd's latest line-up of murderers who are safely behind bars somewhere in Australia - never to be released.
