Description
A definitive compendium of Canada's mass murderers and spree killers.
Rampage: a state of anger or agitation resulting in violent, reckless, and destructive behaviour. In 1989, Marc Lepine mercilessly executed 14 female students at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique to become Canada's most notorious mass murderer. The following year spree killer Peter John Peters roamed from London, Ontario, to Thunder Bay, leaving a trail of bloodied bodies, broken dreams, and stolen vehicles. Both men experienced the same devastating destiny - they embarked on homicidal rampages that shook their nation to the core.
Lee Mellor has gathered more than 25 of Canada's most lethal mass and spree killers into a single work. Rampage details their grisly crimes, delves into their twisted psyches, and dissects their motivations to answer the question every true crime lover yearns to know: why? If you think serial killers are dangerous, prepare for something deadlier ...
