by Gerald Burns (Author)

Enter the killer psychology of Britain's most famous and prolific serial killer who was killing at least one person per week at the height of his murder spree. On June 24 1998 Angela Woodruff received news of her mother's death from the family doctor. He stated that her mother's lifeless body had been found lying peacefully in her home where she lived alone. The family doctor advised Angela that no autopsy would be required and that it would be better if her mother's corpse was cremated. Angela refused, asking instead that her mother's body be buried. Mrs. Woodruff was a solicitor at Hyde and she remained in charge of her mother's affairs for a larger part of her life, so it came as quite the shock when she discovered that another will existed and this one stated that all of her mother's estate be handed over to the family's doctor. Angela now knew that her mother had been murdered and a will forged to claim benefits from her death. All findings pointed to Dr. Harold Fredrick Shipman. This would be his last murder out of over 218 others. Dr. Harold Fredrick Shipman's patients likened the news of making it to his patient's list to winning the UK lottery. He was kind, caring and always ready to visit and listen to his elderly patients. What they didn't know was that this kind-looking doctor was picking them off his list as he kindly took their lives. HYDE'S KILLER DOCTOR navigates the life and times of Britain's most prolific and charming serial killer. Gerald Burns' narrative power comes alive as he takes you through the mind of this killer doctor who killed his victims with all the kindness he could muster.
