A Dreadful Past (2016)
“In which a man becomes a woman, a name is mentioned and Carmen Pharoah and Somerled Yellich are severally at home to the most charitable reader.
‘I think your assumptions are more than reasonable, Chief Inspector, much more than reasonable.’ Kamy Joseph was a dark-skinned, thin-faced, slender woman with shoulder-length jet-black hair. She sat in a confident upright posture behind her desk. Behind her, in turn, on the wall of her office was a tourist poster of her native Brunei in Indonesia. Her... office window looked out on to the angular buildings and landscaped lakes that made up the campus of the University of York. ‘As you say,’ she continued, ‘an individual psychopath grows from demonstrating cruelty to animals as a child to committing violent but non-fatal attacks, then to murder and then “matures” before he or she is caught and then commits no further offences. Two people have found each other and have gone on to become a murdering duo like Hindley and Brady and also like Duffy and Mulcahy.MoreLess
