The Last Temptation

The Last Temptation: The Trial of Doctor Harold Shipman is David Holding's fifth publication with Scott Martin Productions. Harold Shipman is one of the UK's most notorious and prolific serial killers, and in this meaty book, David Holding analyses court and police transcripts, reports and statements, and the text of the Shipman Inquiry, while discussing chronological events, system failures, media coverage, and the 'nature versus nurture' debate so beloved by those seeking to understand aberrant human behaviour. The author's legal experience and analytical thought processes are clearly in play throughout this fascinating book.
