How To Get Away With Murder – Rebecca Philipson

Sam smacks her phone down on the desk. A second later it pings again, this time with an email from Glasgow Police. They have spoken to Drew Mackay, the owner of the first account that the website revenue lands in. He’s admitted to money-muling to pay off his student debt. A man had approached him at a local food bank, and he’d not thought twice. Glasgow Police won’t be taking further action. There’s also an email from Neil Duggan with the subject “Jono?”: DI Hansen, Good to meet you the other day.

Sorry for running out like I did. Needs must. I’m reading How to Get Away with Murder and the first murder, Jono (in the quarry), jogged a memory. Betty kept a scrapbook and in it there were lots of newspaper clippings. I’ve attached a photograph of the one I’m referring to, but basically it’s about a young lad (Jonathan “Jono” Glenholme) who drowned in Stanhope quarry in the early nineties. Tragic. The story loosely matches Denver’s but the strange thing is this: the boy who drowned was a local swimming champion who used the quarry for practice, as the council closed his nearest pool (typical story in the North, I’m afraid.)

Jono’s death was definitely an accident. No one else was involved. Seems odd that Betty has this newspaper article and Denver’s story is quite similar? Anyhow, I’m still hoping that we can get justice for the old girl. Keep in touch. Duggan DI Neil Duggan Northumbria Police Sam’s first feeling is irritation that neither she nor Taylor had found the article themselves during the course of their research into the named killings in Denver’s book.

But, she reasons, they’re focusing on crimes rather than accidents. Sam clicks on the attachment and finds a blurry photograph of a newspaper clipping. Duggan’s thumb is partly covering the main photograph but Sam can make out a smiling young boy with pale skin and chubby cheeks. “Milky, doughy creature,” Sam recalls Denver writing. Very interesting, she thinks. Could Denver simply have been inspired by this story and morphed it into something sick? They already know Denver lies, so it’s perfectly possible Jono is just a disturbed fantasy.

Sam immediately dials Duggan’s number.

OceanofPDF.com This book is dedicated to my girls, Rose and Grace OceanofPDF.com My Name Is Denver Brady, and I Am a Serial Killer I am currently the most successful active serial killer in the Western world. I don’t say this to impress you—it’s a simple fact. There are approximately one hundred and fifty serial killers in operation at any given moment.

The accepted definition of a serial killer is a person who makes three or more kills with more than five days in between them. I became a serial killer before my twentieth birthday, and I have operated unimpeded since then. For most killers, murder chooses them. In my case, I chose murder. I am not driven by base urges, nor motivated by childhood trauma; this is a cliché, a caricature created by governments, medical professionals and entertainment giants.

Their aim is to comfort the wider public. To perpetuate the myth that killers aren’t killers simply because we want to be. I am here to dispel that myth, along with many others. I am not a psychopath, a sociopath nor a sadist. There is no chemical imbalance in my brain. I was not abused, nor dropped on the head by my mother. I have never hurt an animal and I was neither a bully, nor the bullied, in the school playground.

I chose my vocation in much the same way that you chose yours—or you should have, at least; I simply followed my interests. While my classmates were reading books about children climbing through cupboards into imaginary worlds or dropping down rabbit holes, I was engrossed by the tales of Teddy Bundy, Mary Ann Cotton and Jeff Dahmer.

What started off as recreation blossomed into ambition, rooted in frustration at the mistakes of these high-profile killers. Right when they reached their peak, they made error upon error until they were caught. They were judged. And they were strapped to a chair, strung up or bludgeoned with a barbell in the prison gym. Their errors were created by their growing base urges. Their inability to master their own desires.

Pathetic ends to supreme reigns. It was some time in early boyhood that I realized I could outdo them all if I put my mind to it. So I did. I still do.
