Kenneth Erskine: The Stockwell Strangler (True Crimes Book 5)

In the long hot summer of 1986, the elderly residents of south London were prey to a vicious and sadistic killer, who robbed, sexually-assaulted and killed his victims – though not necessarily in that order.

Before he was caught, the Stockwell Strangler killed seven people, tried to kill an eighth and almost certainly killed four others.
