V mysli vraha - Skutečné české kriminální případy – Prošková Denisa (2024)

The true crime genre has been on the rise lately, attracting more and more readers. Experienced author Denisa Prošková, who has written fourteen books, presents stories of both famous and forgotten Czech criminal cases. She aims not only to describe the individual stories but also to uncover their psychological backgrounds. Therefore, she delves into the motivations and thought processes of the various murderers. The criminal stories span from the 19th century to nearly the present day. The author introduces us to one of the most famous Czech criminals, Václav Babinský, the Spartakiad murderer Jiří Straka, the first Czech murderer convicted using DNA evidence, Milan Lubas, and Karla Leanne Homolková, a famous modern-day Canadian murderer with Czech roots. She also examines the case of the oldest Czech woman sentenced to life, Miroslava Kukačková, the sadistic sedative administerer Jaroslava Fabiánová, and the media-famous case of the Stodol family. The fate of the murdered Otýlie Vranské, who was dismembered and hidden in two suitcases by her killer, is also discussed.
