True Crime Stories

This collection brings together twelve real criminal cases from the past century, drawn from several countries and told for readers who enjoy true crime. Several stories focus on people who are most at risk, including older adults and young children, and the book looks at the very different motives behind the crimes. One chapter follows a group of young people in Indiana whose actions surprised investigators, while another turns to a killer who preyed on elderly women in Australia. The book also considers fathers whose failures contributed to their children's deaths. Throughout, the author follows the detectives who worked the most baffling of these investigations and shows how the truth was often more complicated than it first appeared.
