Between 1993 and 1998, eight women went missing from an area around Dublin that became known as the ‘Vanishing Triangle’. Was there a link? Speculation abounded.

Ventiquattro omicidi. Centodue feriti. La cruda contabilità della Uno bianca è quella di una strage. Novantuno rapine. Spesso per pochi spiccioli, per massacrare benzinai, zingari, extracomunitari, carabinieri, impiegati, semplici testimoni. Un eccidio pianificato. Una violenza bestiale per un rebus che pare senza soluzione. Un enigma complicato perché, questa volta, gli assassini vestono la divisa. Roberto Savi - ex attivista del Fronte della Gioventù, un uomo aggressivo, taciturno, schivo, che frequenta solo i fratelli e passa gran parte del suo tempo a giocare con i videogiochi.

Alla fine degli anni Sessanta, nel triangolo fra Padova, Treviso e Venezia abitano alcuni degli uomini più feroci del terrorismo italiano. Hanno un disegno: spargere terrore per instaurare un regime militare autoritario, proprio come era accaduto in Grecia con il golpe dei colonnelli. Alle 16.37 del 12 dicembre 1969, a Milano, sotto il grande tavolo al centro della sala aperta al pubblico della Banca nazionale dell'Agricoltura esplode una bomba. Diciassette persone muoiono. Centinaia rimangono ferite. Da allora sono passati anni di inchieste e decine di sentenze.

The depraved crimes of both real and imagined serial killers and mass murderers have long transfixed us in newspapers and books, but perhaps nowhere more so than on the big screen. Best-selling author Christopher Berry-Dee talks to the serial killers whose wicked stories have most thrilled and fascinated us at the movies, and, through far-ranging and disturbing interviews, he tells the stories of the mass murderers who provided the inspiration for some of cinema’s most shocking films.

48 assassinations - from Archduke Franz Ferdinand to Osama Bin Laden - that changed the world. We live in an age of asymmetric warfare. Huge armies no longer face each other on the battlefield. Instead, heads of major powers and lone assassins (or martyrs) target each other to pursue their agendas. President Donald Trump felt it necessary to use drones to blow away the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Qasem Soleimani, and President Barack Obama felt fully justified in sending in US Navy SEALs to take out Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.

In 1908, Hazel Drew was found floating in a pond in Sand Lake, New York, beaten to death. The unsolved murder inspired rumors, speculation, ghost stories, and, almost a century later, the phenomenon of Twin Peaks. Who killed Hazel Drew? Like Laura Palmer, she was a paradox of personalities - a young, beautiful puzzle with secrets. Perhaps the even trickier question is, Who was Hazel Drew? The investigation that followed her brutal murder was fraught with red herrings, wild-goose chases, and unreliable witnesses.

Nashville - a haven for aspiring musicians and a magnet for country-music fans. By the time Pat Postiglione arrived there in 1980, it was also the scene of an unsolved series of vicious sex slayings that served as a harbinger of worse to come. As Postiglione was promoted from street-beat Metro cop to detective sergeant heading Music City’s elite cold-case Murder Squad, some of America’s most bizarre, elusive, and savage serial killers were calling Nashville home. And during the next two decades, the body count climbed.
