Description

The Suffolk Strangler is the harrowing and propulsive account of how a mild-mannered Mr Nobody, Steven Wright, dropped his partner to work at an IT call centre one evening, then launched into an orgy of rage and violence against some of the most vulnerable women in our society.

It unpicks the making of a monster who described himself as 'placid' in court and who lived in Ipswich's red-light district, known and trusted by the women who worked those streets. It was a lethal brew - a killer who presented as gentle and unthreatening, housed among them. What chance did the women have?

With accounts from Wright's parents, the partners who loved him and the one victim that got away, The Suffolk Strangler gets under the skin of a man whose surface was serene, but whose repressed anger roiled beneath, erupting into bloodlust.

You'll meet his victims, whose precious young lives, full of hope yet struggling, rise from the pages to be remembered.

You'll experience the panic of the manhunt as the monster hid for weeks in plain sight. And you'll feel the fear when faced with the most frightening thought of all....

After Wright recently confessed to the historic murder of 17-year-old Victoria Hall, could there be yet more victims we don't yet know about? After all, serial killers do not wake one day aged 48 and start slaughtering.The story of Steven Wright will not be complete until the name of every woman he has taken from this world is finally revealed.

The Suffolk Strangler is the harrowing and propulsive account of how a mild-mannered Mr Nobody, Steven Wright, dropped his partner to work at an IT call centre one evening, then launched into an orgy...
