description: The twentieth century has come to a close without closing the books on some of its darkest crimes, such as the Lord Lucan murder, the disppearance of Jimmy Hoffa, the assassination of President Kennedy, and the coma of Sunny von Bulow. Time and again, Kirk Wilson comes closer than any other investigator to exposing the gritty, shocking truth. And in a specially extended edition of this award-winning book, renowned true-crime expert Colin Wilson adds a new introductory chapter with his own slant on how and why these crimes continue to haunt us. “An accomplished amateur sleuth’s handbook ... a solid fix for crime addicts ... thought through with Holmesian passion.”—Kirkus Review
