This is a series of essays regarding criminal literature and actual criminal cases, written by a lawyer. They cover a wide variety of interesting and thoughtful studies, including “Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Stevenson”, “Salieri and the ‘Murder’ of Mozart”, “Psychological Kidnapping in Italy: The Case of Aldo Braibanti”, and “M. Tullius Cicero for the Defense”. Another case deals with the case of a “nonfiction novel” that considerably predates In Cold Blood. The final essay show more is a funny comment on the author’s attempt to do some research in London. “If you wish to do research in London, you should have one of two assets going for you. You should be either a saint or extremely long-lived.” show less
An invaluable foot into my Herostratus research. Lots of good insights into the syndrome and modern examples of the Act. A much larger nut to crack than anticipated.
