MURDER, MY LOVE The Great Crimes of Passion

Hardback. The author presents unusual and shocking crimes of passion in America, England and France since the turn of the last century - described by the finest crime writers of the time. Each involved in a triangle - and each is unique. Featuring such bizarre personalities as Ruth Snyder and her corset-salesman lover, Judd Gray. Both died in the electric chair in New York in 1928. The slain minister and his choir-girl mistress passed into history as the Hall-Mills case. The Stanford White-Harry Thaw murder as well as the passionate murder that took place on Big Moose Lake. Whether the people are as famous as Dr. Bernard Finch and his sweetheart Carole Tregoff, or as obscure as Joshua Creffield, the self-proclaimed prophet who seduced hundreds of women before he was murdered for revenge, each story unfolds like suspenseful fiction - yet every word is true. 288pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Lightly browned edges, o/w Vg+ in sunned Vg+ dw.
