282pp. Edges uncut. Dj worn at edges with little loss only at top of spine. A selection of more unusual crimes and criminals. Includes stories of a phoney prophet who set up home in the Ozark mountains and made money from trafficking in souls and bodies; the Candy Kid who was so vain he left notes for the cops, but one was left too close to a body; a village beauty who collected and disposed of husbands. Also contains a few unsolved murders such as the infamous Black Dahlia case and the classic English murder - the Wallace Case. A selection of crimes where truth is certainly stranger than fiction.
