25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester: Centre of the Most Extraordinary Case of Multiple Murder in Modern British History

This was the bland semi-detached home of Fred and Rose West, and the guardian of their incredible secret: the remains of nine young women - many of them dismembered, decapitated and showing evidence of sexual torture - were buried under its cellar, bathroom floor and garden. The remains of Fred's eight-year-old stepdaughter were under the extension of a nearby house; his first wife and nanny were buried in windswept fields some miles away. There are undoubtedly many other victims whose fates may never be known.

Yet Fred and Rose West, who committed at least nine of these murders together, continued to preserve the façade of a normal married life. Friends and neighbours considered them a loving if somewhat eccentric couple, and their crimes went undetected for over twenty years.

Howard Sounes is the journalist who broke the first major story about the Wests and coined the case's famous name. Drawing on exclusive interviews and months of painstaking research, he now reveals the secrets behind the headlines: the spiral of abuse, going back generations on both sides; the sexual histories and proclivities of Fred and Rose, whose lust for violent and bizarre sex motivated many of the murders; and their astonishing lifestyle in Cromwell Street.
