The True Stories of Celebrated Crimes
George Barton
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
Excerpt: "Raw truth often possesses greater human interest than the most polished fiction. Crime, in itself, is painful and sometimes repulsive, but a study of the methods of criminal investigation by which difficult problems are solved and the guilty brought to justice, is entertaining ...With this thought in mind, the reader is invited to a consideration of a few of the famous cases that are to be found in the history of the world’s greatest detectives." Fifteen cases are presented, each story is complete in itself. (Summary by Laurie Banza) (5 hr 3 min)
