Hardback. In these pages the authors introduce you to a compelling cast of gunmen, jewel thieves, undercover cops, attorneys, informers, drug smugglers, forensic boffins, and ordinary law-abiding citizens like 11yr old Amy Jackson, whose young life is about to be tangled and snared in the web of crime. Amy's is but one of over 30 gripping stories in this collection, all of which have been carefully chosen from the wealth of top-class crime reporting that has been featured in 'Reader's Digest' magazine over the previous decade. The magazine's crime reporters, who are based around the world, are among the very best in their field, whether they are describing the sophisticated global operations of the Mafia or the devilishly simple but devastatingly efficient exploits of a small-time burglar.
