Great condition, price sticker on front as seen in photo

Oversized, softcover, Hamlyn Publishing, London. Dozens of b/w photos throughout. The actions of evil men have always exercised a fascination on the law-abiding majority of mankind. The World's Greatest Crimes is an absorbing account of some of the most notorious misdeeds of the 20th Century. Murder, that most horrifying of crimes, inevitably occupies an important place in this book, and the murderers themselves present a remarkable range of contrasting characters - from the outwardly inoffensive Dr. Crippen to the callously homicidal Bonnie and Clyde, and the pathological mass-killer who is, unhappily, such a feature of our times. Included are the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, Martin Luther King's and JF Kennedy's assassinations, and articles on Fatty Arbuckle, Al Capone, Peter Kurten, The Boston Strangler, Charles Manson, Joyce McKinney, David Berkowitz, and many more.
