A Treasury of Victorian Murder

Edition excerpt from A Treasury of Victorian Murder Compendium (2013): An engrossing, illustrated journey into true crime classics of the Victorian era, this omnibus volume contains three works in Rick Geary’s increasingly storied treasuries of murder—Jack the Ripper, The Beast of Chicago, and The Fatal Bullet. Jack the Ripper presents Geary’s inimitable tongue-in-cheek take on the 19th century's most infamous serial killer. H. H. Holmes is the next subject in Geary's award-winning series, as he presents the chilling, methodical murders of the world’s first serial killer in The Beast of Chicago. Lastly, Fatal Bullet explores the assassination of President James A. Garfield at the hands of an obsessive-compulsive stalker. These carefully researched presentations of true crime stories include a bibliography of research sources, presenting true facts about famous murders in an entertaining fashion.
