Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend time with a convicted serial killer?<br /> <br />Or how you would feel when they told you what it was like to take a life?<br /> <br />Don't Ever Call Me Helpless is a powerful, chilling true crime story that offers a rare glimpse into the mind of convicted murderer Catherine Birnie.<br /> <br />In the late 1980s, Catherine and her defacto partner David Birnie went on a killing spree that shocked and numbed the Western Australian community. In just six weeks they abducted, tortured, raped and murdered four Perth women, and were only caught when a fifth victim escaped and led police to the killers.<br /> <br />During the 1990s author Ruth Wykes was a frequent visitor to Perth's Bandyup Women's Prison. She spent many hours with Catherine Birnie, and her account of the woman, mother, and remorseless killer is a must-read for anyone who is interested in true crime.<br /> <br />Welcome to Crime Shots – short, sharp, true crime stories from Australia's past and present.
