Extraordinary True Crimes Resurrected from the Grave Famous Crimes the World Forgot uncovers ten amazing true crimes that exploded into the national news, shocking Americans from coast to coast-crimes that were eventually forgotten-until now. Many of these incredible cases went unexplored for decades. They include: a "Jack the Slugger" style serial killer who haunted the streets of Denver, bashing women in the head with a baton; the hatchet murder of a wife and child in Florida that put the husband in the prosecutor's cross-hairs; a psychotic and delusional killer who taunted the public and police with coded messages-long before the Zodiac Killer did the same thing in California; the only family in America to produce two spree killers; a beautiful, young coed who shot a foreign student for a bizarre motive; a doctor who sought revenge and wiped out an innocent family; a blind man so desperate to support his family that he set off a bomb in one of America's largest department stores; and a ruthless killer who murdered a husband and wife in their car on Route 66 while their four young sons slept in a pup tent just a few feet away. These astonishing true crimes will leave you wondering how they could have been ignored for so long.

Murder then is the same as Murder NowThe cold-blooded killers of today are the same as they were one hundred years ago. The style of their clothes, their music, and even their means of transportation are completely different, but murder then is the same as murder now.They had their own serial killers--including one who had a side-hobby burning down buildings, contract killers on a motorcycle, roadside bombers, child molesters turned killers, charming psychopaths, a spoiled teenager, a dangerous killer with an albino complexion, a former police chief turned robber and killer, and a minister who did the unthinkable.The first fifteen chapters of this anthology come from one the rarest true crime books known to exist, Enemies of the Underworld, by Frank Dalton O'Sullivan. Self-published in 1917, the author's 700-page tome was acquired and digitized for the first time by the publisher of this anthology, Historical Crime Detective Publishing. The remaining five chapters were selected from Fifty Years a Detective by Thomas Furlong, published in 1912.Thirty-six new illustrations and approximately seventy annotations were added to this anthology to enhance the reader's enjoyment. In addition, a companion webpage was created which contains a total of 116 images, and 139 newspaper pages filled with stories about the people and events covered in this book.
