In our books and newspapers, on the radio and television, some famous murder will be mentioned and we will want to know more about it. This revised and updated edition of a classic work is a reference book with a difference-it features hundreds of notorious murderers-from Jack the Ripper to Jack Henry Abbott. The entries, spanning a period of more than 160 years, are listed alphabetically and give full treatment to some of the most ghastly crimes in history. THE NEW MURDERERS' WHO'S WHO also includes more than 150 contemporary photographs, drawings and newspaper cuttings, and a bibliography of more than a thousand titles to guide the reader to books of further interest. More than 100 entries examining new trends in murder such as serial killings and mass murder have been added."--Jacket
