The Killer Next Door - By Lindsay Simpson & Sandra Harvey

What makes a seemingly ordinary man kill his suburban neighbours, one by one? How can he come back to his house and family and act normally after battering to death a series of elderly and often frail women? And why?
 
This is the case of John Glover, the Sydney Granny Killer: a graphic and chilling insight into the mind of a serial killer. It traces the evolution of a person capable of such violence, how the murders were incorporated into daily life – and how close family were deceived so totally and for so long.
 
And in almost two years of interviews in three different jails, John Glover speaks frankly of the case, and tells intimate details of the murders.
 
The authors have drawn on police contacts here and interviews with Glovers relatives in the United Kingdom to give hitherto unknown details of his life. Equally gripping is the construction of the police hunt for the killer; methods, techniques and the slow overlapping of forensic material with a mass of evidence, facts and details gathered from the public.
