BUSINESS OF MURDER Ten true stories of businessmen who found murder unprofitable

Paperback. In these 10 cases of murder, some highly respected and successful businessmen proved themselves ingenious and enterprising - but hardly omniscient - when it came to committing the ultimate crime. They were motivated by jealousy, greed, and the need to conceal other crimes. They tried to "finalise" their problem with guns, bludgeons, and meat cleavers. A Wall Street broker, an advertising director, an estate agent, and a contractor, among others, distorted the very acumen that had advanced their careers when worship of women or passion for profit led them to transactions in murder. Carefully culled from police files and court records, these factual accounts present a chilling picture of bloody business deals in which nobody came out on top.

Dorr, William Grace, Alfredo Cocchi, Frank James/Ray Shuck, Everett Clark and Henry Colin Campbell. 221pp. p/back. With neat name insc. to fep, v. lightly browned pp. o/w Nr.
