Publisher's Synopsis
Warped in the Making: Crimes of Love and Hate is a book written by H. Ashton-Wolfe that delves into the psychology behind crimes of passion. The book explores the different ways in which love and hate can become warped and lead to acts of violence and criminal behavior. With a focus on real-life cases, the author examines the motivations and thought processes of individuals who have committed heinous crimes in the name of love or hate. From jealousy-fueled murders to crimes committed in the name of revenge, Warped in the Making offers a fascinating look into the darker aspects of human nature. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, psychology, or the intersection of love and violence.1928. The stories which I have selected for this series can be found in the official records, only one or two details have been rearranged in order to avoid giving pain and reopening old wounds. I have myself taken part either in the investigation or the final trials of the criminals. Several of the cases I have specially selected because of the ingenuity displayed both by the lawbreakers and the investigators.
