(P/B) THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEALTHIEST LOSERS
'Who wants to be a millionaire? ' - so the song asks. While most of us would probably say, 'I do!', bobbing along on a sea of champagne isn't necessarily a guarantee of true happiness. The stupendously rich often have to pay a high price for the privilege. They say money can't buy everything.

(P/B) LADY KILLERS

The murderesses who have stood in the dock fit no stereotype. They may be rich and spoiled or poor and desperate, voluptuous sirens or dumpy matrons. Few of them are sadistic killers. The notorious Myra Hindley, one of the 'Moors Murderers', the women of Nazi d...
