Keep your friends close.
Keep your enemies closer.
A simple philosophy that John Bunting - the sadistic mastermind behind Australia's worst serial killings - used to fool everyone, from his lovers and friends to his victims and the police.
Five years in the research, investigative journalist Debi Marshall takes you deep inside the sinister world of the killers and behind the veil of secrecy that shrouds Adelaide society. A stark account of the story that the world would come to know as the 'bodies-in-barrels' murders, Killing for Pleasure presents material never before seen - a harrowing interview with Bunting's last lover and her son, key eyewitness Jamie Vlassakis. Marhsall's conclusions will haunt you long after you turn the last page. In a subculture where abuse and revenge intertwine, John Bunting and his accomplices were indeed Killing for Pleasure.
Twelve bodies, three killers, one accomplice and a maniacal murder spree that went undetected for seven years, Killing for Pleasure examines the systematic abuse endured by both victims and killers. It is a chilling tapestry of torture, dismemberment, ritual fantasy and cannibalism, a no-holds-barred investigation that asks: Why? And why Adelaide, South Australia, once admired as the City of Churches, now known as the City of Corpses? Is twelve the final body count?
