Months after Eve Stratford’s murder, the lifeless body of 16 year-old schoolgirl Lynne Weedon was discovered in an alley in Hounslow. Lynne had walked home from the pub after a night out and was never seen alive again. She had been raped and battered to death with a blunt object. On the surface, this murder looked very different to the other two so how, when a cold case investigation was opened years later, was it eventually linked to the murders of Eve Stratford and Lynda Farrow?

It was March 1975 and 21 year-old Playboy Bunny Eve Stratford had her entire life ahead of her. She had a job that she loved and mixed with the rich and famous in London's most glamorous club but deep down she aspired to become a model and when she posed for a topless shoot for Mayfair magazine, this did not go down well with her employers.

In the early 1980s, a series of quiet, targeted killings spread through a criminal underworld. The dead were not innocent. There were men already living outside the law, and their disappearances passed largely unnoticed. For years, the murders attracted little scrutiny. Then forensic evidence began to surface, revealing a pattern that could no longer be ignored. At the centre of it was Werner Pinzner, known as "Mucki." He operated efficiently within a system designed to protect those who ordered the killings and those who carried them out.

We tell ourselves we would know. That a killer would carry some visible mark, and that the people we trust could never be capable of the unthinkable. But the most chilling crimes are committed by the husband across the breakfast table, the coworker closing the shop, the polished stranger who remembers your children's names. This collection moves through quiet suburbs, small towns, and faraway cities to reconstruct thirty-six cases where evil wore an ordinary face.

Some of them hid behind a name that wasn't theirs. Others hid behind a uniform, a reputation, a famous last name, or a job so ordinary no one thought to look twice. The twelve cases in this volume share one unsettling thread: the distance between who these people appeared to be and what they did when they were certain no one was watching. A few held that distance open for years. Some held it for decades. One died before anyone ever closed it.
