This is the first book to examine murder through the written word--not only the writings of the killers themselves, but also the story of murder as told in literary fiction and the crime dramas that are now a staple of film and television. The authors--a criminologist specializing in cold cases, written evidence, and forensic science, and an anthropologist who has dealt with the signs and ciphers of organized crime and street gangs in his previous work--are widely recognized experts in this emerging specialty field. Based on extensive research and interviews with convicted murderers, the book emphasizes the often-overlooked narrative impulse that drives killers, with the authors explaining how both mass and serial murderers perceive their crimes as stories and why a select few are compelled to commit these stories to writing whether before, during, or after their horrific acts. The book also analyzes the written work of killers, using a combination of machine-based linguistic patterning, predictive modeling, and symbolic interpretation, to make sense of the screeds of everyone from the Son of Sam and the Zodiac Killer to the Columbine attackers, the Unabomber, and the recent spate of mass shooters using social media as their preferred narrative platform. They present a theoretical perspective of murder that is based on both the criminological evidence and written works. In addition, the authors examine famous literature that has dealt ingeniously with murder and its relationship with real crime, from the Greek tragedians to Truman Capote to modern-day productions such as Making a Murderer. This unique approach offers a new means to penetrate the minds of murderers, revealing their motives as well as the wider social meanings of this age-old crime and our continuing fascination with it.

"One of the most entertaining mysteries of the year. It’s also one of the most stimulating, as it ponders such questions as: Which is of greater interest to the reader, the crime or the detective? And: Is the pencil truly mightier than the butcher knife?” — Wall Street Journal New York Times bestselling author of Magpie Murders and Moriarty, Anthony Horowitz has yet again brilliantly reinvented the classic crime novel, this time writing a fictional version of himself as the Watson to a modern-day Holmes. A woman crosses a London street. It is just after 11 a.m. on a bright spring morning, and she is going into a funeral parlor to plan her own service. Six hours later the woman is dead, strangled with a crimson curtain cord in her own home. Enter disgraced police detective Daniel Hawthorne, a brilliant, eccentric man as quick with an insult as he is to crack a case. And Hawthorne has a partner, the celebrated novelist Anthony Horowitz, curious about the case and looking for new material. As brusque, impatient, and annoying as Hawthorne can be, Horowitz—a seasoned hand when it comes to crime stories—suspects the detective may be on to something, and is irresistibly drawn into the mystery. But as the case unfolds, Horowitz realizes that he’s at the center of a story he can’t control, and his brilliant partner may be hiding dark and mysterious secrets of his own.

BY THE AUTHOR OF MULTI-AWARD-WINNING #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: THE FIVE, THE WOMEN KILLED BY JACK THE RIPPER An epic examination of the historical true-crime story of infamous wife-murderer Dr Crippen in Edwardian England, brought to justice by an extraordinary group of strong women 'A unique combination of sleuthing, storytelling and compassion' Lucy Worsley 'Under her pen, history comes alive' Professor Dame Sue Black 'An exceptional achievement. I was gripped from the very first page' The Secret Barrister 'Reads like a great thriller. I inhaled it' Bella Mackie 'Fascinating. It's about time Belle became the hero of her own story' Val McDermid 'As compelling as any crime drama' S J Parris ‘I couldn't put it down' Bonnie Garmus 'I had my hand over my wide-open mouth' Rachel Joyce 'Takes us beyond the world of Dr Crippen into the lives impacted by him and the society in which he moved. Terrific' Ian Rankin 'Compelling to the very last page' Denise Mina 'Stunningly beguiling true crime study' FOYLES BOOKS ___________ No murderer should ever be the keeper of their victim's story ... On 1 February, 1910, vivacious musichall performer, Belle Elmore, suddenly vanished from her north London home, causing alarm among her circle of female friends, the entertainers of the Music Hall Ladies’ Guild who demanded an immediate investigation. They could not have known what they would provoke: the unearthing of a gruesome secret, followed by a fevered manhunt for the prime suspect: Belle’s husband, medical fraudster, Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen. Hiding in the shadows of this evergreen tale is Crippen’s typist and lover, Ethel Le Neve – was she really just ‘an innocent young girl’ in thrall to a powerful older man as so many people have since reported? In this epic examination of one of the most infamous murders of the twentieth century, prizewinning social historian Hallie Rubenhold gives voice to those who have never properly been heard – the women. Featuring a carnival cast of eccentric entertainers, glamorous lawyers, zealous detectives, medics and liars, STORY OF A MURDER is meticulously researched and multi-layered, offering the reader an electrifying snapshot of Britain and America at the dawn of the modern era. ________ 'Does for the Crippen Murder case what THE FIVE did for the victims of Jack the Ripper. Forensic research and insistent sympathetic writing. I loved it' PROFESSOR DAVID WILSON, BBC 1, The Crime Squad

The Collected Works of Martin Luther presents a comprehensive anthology of the influential theologian's writings, encompassing his seminal discourses during the Protestant Reformation. The volumes reflect Luther's bold literary style, blending scripture-based argumentation with poignant personal reflections and a passionate call for ecclesiastical reform. Key texts such as the Ninety-Five Theses and the Large and Small Catechisms illustrate not only Luther's theological insights but also his skillful use of rhetoric, making complex ideas accessible to the laity. The work situates itself within the historical context of 16th-century Europe, capturing the fervor of a transformative era in Christianity. Martin Luther (1483-1546), a German monk and theologian, emerged as a central figure in the Reformation, driven by a profound quest for spiritual truth and reform within the Catholic Church. His intimate struggles with faith and doctrine compelled him to challenge the prevailing norms of his time, echoing the sentiments of growing dissatisfaction among believers. His writings reveal a deep understanding of scripture and a commitment to the principles of justification by faith, shaping the beliefs of countless followers in the centuries that followed. This collection is indispensable for scholars and lay readers alike, offering insights into the foundations of Protestant thought and the enduring relevance of Luther'Äôs theological contributions. It invites readers to engage with the historical narrative and appreciate the literary artistry that has influenced modern Christianity and Western thought.
