From the back of book: With more than 70 chapters on every aspect of crimes and criminals, this vast collection includes subjects as varied as alibis, arson, blackmail, computer crimes, con men, conspiracy theories, dominance, dual personality, headless corpses, hired killers, killer couples, lady-killers, manic messiahs, mass murderers, parent killers, perverts, protection rackets, sabotage, serial killers, stranglers, sleep-walking slayers, train murders, victims and vital clues.
Lots of interesting facts and leads on other books to watch for. Some of the facts are slighty out of date, but otherwise great read.
