TWELVE AGAINST THE LAW

Hardback, 1st UK edn. The author tells the story of 12 gruesome and baffling crimes. These cases present some of the most unusual features that have appeared in the annals of 'modern' American crime. The methods of the police are graphically described in the minutest detail, and one must particularly admire the psychological care in the handling of witnesses and the suspects. How else could the man have been apprehended who shot the proprietor of the restaurant made famous by the profanity of its green parrot? How else could the murderer of the young couple in the mud amongst the crabs have been brought to justice? Who was "the killer Who Left No Clues"; or the ghostly safe-cracker? each case is exciting and unusual. 246pp. 8vo. h/back. Lightly foxed edges, Vg+ in Vg. dw. which has small mk. on fr. cover (see image).
