Criminal masterminds - Anne Williams

Criminals and their crimes have fascinated us for many years and sometimes it is hard not to be impressed by the sheer brilliance of their intellectual capabilities. Possibly the title 'evil genius' springs to mind when you think of the way they plan complex crimes using the minutest details to track down their target.

This book covers the stories of more than fifty of the most ruthless, devious and possibly notoriously intelligent criminals and the way they masterminded their crime. Read about Kim Philby who was a senior officer in the British Secret Intelligence Service for ten years, but was actually an agent for the Soviet KGB, or Osama Bin Laden, the alleged brain behind the al-Qaeda.
