The lure of true crime stories is irresistible—and this popular book, now updated to include today's headline-making felonies, delivers hundreds of them in hard-hitting tabloid style. Dating from the 19th century to the present, the list of perps includes the most notorious villains of modern history, right up to Josef Fritzl, who imprisoned and raped his daughter for 24 years, and Armin Meiwes, the cannibal who found a willing victim. Includes nearly 500 black-and-white photos! Their true tales are told:
Lizzie Borden o Jack the Ripper o Al Capone o Charles Manson o Jeffrey Dahmer
