Abandoned as a baby by her mother on the doorstep of a convent, then abused by her adoptive parents, Christine Hart's childhood was one of loneliness in which she was desperate for love. A quest for her real father led her along a confused and complex path to the prison cell of the notorious Moors murderer Ian Brady and thereafter to a life of espionage and subterfuge. Hart's methods of self-preservation meant she had no idea of her true self but it made her ideal for deep undercover work with, first, the British security services and then the more salubrious London-based newspapers. Along the way she was to witness the underhand methods for which the UK media were to be publicly vilified. In In for the Kill, Hart exclusively reveals just how these 'investigations' were carried out and how her inner uncertainties drew her like a moth to the flame into the murderous world of the Real IRA, UDA and, ultimately, into the web of Los Angeles serial killer Ken Bianchi - the notorious Hillside Strangler.
