Description
Could a Harvard professor possibly be the murderer? What convinced a junkman that he was buying the Eiffel Tower? What evil, twisted motives incited the actions of such criminals as Al Capone, Adolf Eichmann and John Wilkes Booth? In sixty true articles chosen as the best in over forty years of The Reader’s Digest, mystery and crime are shown in full range – the supernatural, the terrifying, the intriguing, the amusing. From Alger Hiss to Bluebeard of Paris, from the Orient to the untracked Arctic, these stories trace the paths of men and women who have murdered, disappeared, committed treason, swindled, betrayed, haunted, been wrongfully imprisoned, reached past the grave, and otherwise have become involved in activities requiring the greatest ingenuity in the art of detection.
