Frederick West was an English serial killer, who committed at least twelve murders between 1967 and 1987 in Gloucestershire, the majority with his second wife, Rose West. All of the victims were young women, and at least eight of these murders involved the Wests' sexual gratification and included rape, bondage, torture, and mutilation. The victims' dismembered bodies were typically buried in the cellar or garden of the West residence in Gloucester, which became known as the "House of Horrors."

Colin Wilson is one of the top modern non-fiction crime writers. In The Corpse Garden, he unravels the story behind the facts in order to get to the heart of the West murders.
