Crimes of the Century
Notorious New York
The Empire State has witnessed many unique and perverse crimes. Quite a few triggered international headlines. This is where the phrase “serial killer” was born – for good reason! From genius killers to violent child molesters, New York has it all. We also find the demented assassinations of Stanford White and John Lennon, the strange case that inspired Edgar Allen Poe, murders that enthralled filmmakers, scandalous crimes that altered journalism, and even a murderous writer. Let’s not forget Amityville and the missing Judge Crater! But we must warn you: Don’t read this book at night!
