"Adapted from the ... A Year of True Crime Page-A-Day Calendar, here is a full celebration of the genre--more than 400 pages packed with tales of slashers and serial killers, grifters and con men, dogged investigators and miraculous survivors, and of course the story behind the immortal New York Post headline 'Headless Body in Topless Bar.' And so very much more, including: Ted Bundy's prison escape, mini-rampage, and eventual capture; the tragic litany of missed early chances to capture Jeffrey Dahmer; and the fascinating puzzle of the Zodiac Killer. Also: celebrity stories, like the murder of Tupac Shakur, and old-yet-still-chilling tales such as the Lindbergh kidnapping, the Black Dahlia murder, [and] the drowning at Chappaquiddick"-- Provided by publisher.
