** ''Literature/SpecialAssignments''' "The Decorator": [[spoiler:Sotsky, also known as Pakhomenko and as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, is a brutal and bloodthirsty SerialKiller who claims that by dismembering ugly people he makes them prettier. He is first arrested after an ugly prostitute he hires to torture dies from his beating, and the prison time strips him of his last shreds of humanity. After his escape, Sotsky begins a series of murders and butcherings in London, before continuing in Moscow. While he feels some pity for one of the police clerks on the case, Sotsky still kills said clerk's mentally disabled sister and her nurse, and eventually murders the clerk himself when the latter [[HeKnowsTooMuch gets too close to the truth]].]]

** ''Literature/MurderOnTheLeviathan'': [[spoiler:[[FemmeFatale Marie Sanfon]] is a skilled, ruthless and utterly self-serving serial criminal. She encourages her lover Charles Renier, son of a deposed rajah, to look for his father's hidden treasure. When the clue to the treasure's location, a shawl, is found, Marie, with some help from Charles, murders ten people, [[WouldHurtAChild including two children]], just to steal it. Later, Charles, at her prompting, commits two more murders aboard the ''Leviathan'' whenever the shawl's safety is threatened. Finally, when Marie's attempts to {{frame|Up}} another passenger fail, she decides to LeaveNoWitnesses and urges Charles to steer the ship, with a thousand passengers and crew, onto rocks. Her calm doesn't falter when Charles takes all the blame as the plan is foiled or when Charles is killed by the French detective who also wants the treasure. Marie only goes berserk when Erast Fandorin [[NoMacguffinNoWinner throws the shawl into the sea]], proving that she cares for no one and nothing but money.]]
