The Alice Crimmins case

Reads like really good fiction. The author takes you farther out from the murders than Carpozi did in "Ordeal By Trial!" and informs the reader that there was a lot more to come in the courtroom and a very surprising, unsatisfying ending for everyone involved. This is a must-read for anyone interested in questionable cases, cases tried in the courts, police malfeasance, systems succumbing to official pressure, and true crime that's really, really really well-written. This is a book that makes you think.
