Like other Dorling Kindersley books, the layout is what jumps out
at you ... we think it will make a great gift for anyone who loves
crime fiction. It seems a perfect reference tool for authors who
need a little inspiration or who want to ground their work with a
few facts from the world of true crime ... Crime fiction author
Peter James adds the cherry on top with his foreword.
*Crime Fiction Lover*
From the 1671 attempt to steal the Crown Jewels to the 2015 Hatton
Garden heist, and taking in Burke and Hare, Bonnie and Clyde and
the Bandit Queen of Uttar Pradesh, The Crime Book by Dorling
Kindersley is an exhaustively researched and lavishly illustrated
treasure-trove of malfeasance through the ages and around the
world.
