Inside the minds of Britain's most evil criminals Bob Taylor

Few detectives can claim to match DCS Bob Taylor's 100% conviction record.

In his 31 -year career Detective Chief Superintendent Bob Taylor has headed nearly 50 investigations where every killer, rapist and kidnapper he hunted ended up behind bars. He attributes much of this astonishing clear-up rate to his ability to enter the warped criminal mind. His famous cases include Michael Sams, arrogant murderer of Julie Dart and kidnapper of Stephanie Slater; the Yorkshire Ripper investigation, on which he worked as a sergeant and recalls the bungling which delayed the killer's capture; a serial rapist who attacked while on day release from jail; and a bizarre shoe fetishist who killed while staring at a pair of stilettos; plus many more equally compelling crimes. Accompanying these powerful first-hand accounts, Bob gives his forthright views on juries, the legal system, the real way to tackle the drugs epidemic and much more. Bob Taylor joined the police in 1970 and rose to become head of operations in the National Crime Squad, England's answer to the FBI.
