By Jane Simon Ammeson. Includes "astonishing and sometimes bizarre stories of arsenic murders, Ponzi schemes, prison escapes, perjury," and beyond. Apparently this crudely disturbing cover art is not considered one of them, although this Vincennes-descended correspondent begs to differ.
Other than the creepy dolly, the paperback is in good shape -- mild cornerwear, but the pages are clean and bright, spine unbroken.
