Crime Strange But True

Viac o knihe

In Crime Strange But True the author of the highly successful True Crime Diary presents real-life cases of crime at its most unusual and chilling. A teetotaler with a bottle of poisoned stout kills two people by accident while really trying to murder somebody else. Cut-throats on horseback attack a mail-coach with unbridled savagery - and the terrible aftermath haunts France for seventy years. A little-known author in a remote Australian camel station reveals the plot of his proposed mystery novel ... and thereby unwittingly causes the deaths of three men. In addition to these extraordinary tales, Crime Strange But True contains macabre case studies of seven people who were sent to the gallows or the electric chair and, amazingly, survived. This is an enthralling volume which no true-crime addict should miss.
