On 12 April 1919, the Paris police arrested a bald, short, 50-year-old swindler at his apartment near the Gare du Nord, acting on a lead from a humble housemaid. A century later, Henri Désiré Landru remains the most notorious and enigmatic serial killer in French criminal history, a riddle at the heart of an unsolved murder puzzle. The official version of Landrus lethal rampage was so shocking that it almost defied belief. According to the authorities, Landru had made “romantic contact” with 283 women during the First World War, luring ten of them to his country houses outside Paris where he killed them for their money. Yet no bodies were ever found, while Landru obdurately protested his innocence. “It is for you to prove the deeds of which I am accused,” he sneered at the investigating magistrate. The true story of laffaire Landru, buried in the Paris police archives for the past century, was altogether more disturbing. In Landrus Secret, Richard Tomlinson draws on more than 5,000 pages of original case documents, including witness statements, police reports and private correspondence, to reveal for the first time that: Landru killed more women than the 10 victims on the charge sheet. The police failed to trace at least 72 of the women he contacted. The authorities ignored the key victim who explained why the killings began. Landru did not kill for money, but to revel in his power over what he called the “feeble sex”. Lavishly illustrated with previous unpublished photographs, Landrus Secret is a story for our times: a female revengers tragedy starring the mothers and sisters of the missing fiancées, a lethal misogynist and Frances greatest defense lawyer, intent on saving his repulsive client from the guillotine.

True crime at its most potent: a riveting account of tracking down and convicting an evil serial killer by the detective who trapped him. "In the duel between a small-town cop and France's most dangerous serial killer, the advantage appeared heavily in favour of Francis Heaulme, the criminal known as the 'man from nowhere', who may have killed more than to 50 men, women and children. "Heaulme left few ordinary clues during a career of crime spread across the country. Faced with a master of ingenious alibis and innate resistance to interrogation, all his gendarmerie opponent could count on was instinct. This psychological hunt for a killer has echoes of Dostoevsky. "Heaulme never spoke murders. He referred to pepins - bothersome details, before noting days when pepins coincided with killings he had supposedly witnessed. He gave the impression he was an accidental observer of events in which women were beaten to death or children repeatedly stabbed. He had no criminal record and was scrupulous in living in the law. While he is thought to have been involved at least 50 murders, Heaulme once said that 'every time I visited somewhere there was a pepin.' So far 400 towns and villages have been identified where Heaulme stayed." Paul Webster in the Observer, reviewing the French edition This is the best, clearest, most decisive account of the work of a detective possible. It shows how deadly criminals can only be caught by a combination of luck, patience - and most important of all skill and determination. It is frightening stuff.

Crimes occur every day throughout the world. Granted, some countries record more homicide than others, but no place on Earth is crime-free. Crime may not be the firs thing that comes to mind for Americans when thinking about France, likely because of a romanticized portrait of the "country of love". However, in 2019, 880 homicides were recorded by the French authorities. It is estimated that approximately 15% of these will become cold cases. This book focuses on twelve solved cases that have captivated the people of France throughout the years. The short stories narrated in The French Kill Too have all been elucidated and have all left an indelible mark on French society. They are some of the most bewildering criminal affairs the French legal system has had to judge. Two of them have inspired movies, and all of them have baffled the French population in their own time.

It was the end of May 1901. Reporters from all over France descended on the small city of Poitiers. After receiving an anonymous tip, police discovered a 52-year-old woman, emaciated, completely naked, making strange noises and uttering incomprehensible words and phrases, in a dark room with the window shutters nailed and locked shut, a room that happened to be in the very proper mansion of the widow of a former dean of the university's prestigious Faculté des Lettres. The woman was her daughter and was the sister of a former subprefect who lived just across the street. It was an unthinkable crime: a woman held captive in her home for twenty-five years. The scandal ripped through Poitiers and then all of France. It would dominate public discourse in the country until the trial was over. This book is also about a man and a woman and all that kept them apart. One was Protestant, the other Catholic; one a liberal Républicain, the other from a conservative Royalist family; one with family ties to nobility, the other dedicated to helping the working man; one older and wiser, the other young and carefree. Everything was against them. During the 19th century, France was struggling to stabilize its government, pitting those yearning for a true republic against those wanting a return to the monarchy. This young couple was caught in the eye of the storm, falling in love in spite of it all and suffering the consequences. To understand what really happened, author Viviane Janouin-Benanti pored over the newspaper accounts of the scandal and read all of the court documents and witness testimonies. Over a century has passed, but remnants of the deep divisions that fed the public scandal surrounding this case are still present any time the Poitiers Affair is mentioned. With a background in law, politics, and public health, Viviane Janouin-Benanti spent many years working with community outreach organizations in France. Today, she devotes her time exclusively to writing novels. Fascinated by true stories, her aim is to breathe life into her characters: real people who were the perpetrators and victims at the center of major criminal and historical cases.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Now a major motion picture directed by Ridley Scott starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver and Jodie Comer. In 1386, a few days after Christmas, a massive crowd gathered at a Paris monastery to watch two men fight a duel to the death. A trial by combat to prove which man's cause was right in God's sight. The dramatic story of the knight, the squire and the lady unfolds during the tumultuous fourteenth century. A time of war, plague and anarchy, as well as of honour, chivalry, and courtly love. The notorious quarrel appears in many histories of France, but no writer has recounted it in full, until now. _______________________________________________________________ 'Succeeds brilliantly in combining page-turning intensity with eye-opening insights' Sunday Times 'Suspenseful and well written' Spectator

Reisinger examines contemporary French society's relationship with violence in an era of increased media dominance. The study's innovative and interdisciplinary approach integrates media, cinema, and literary studies to analyze how crime news functions as a site of discursive struggle. By situating these crime stories in a larger historical and political context, she analyzes how media and politicians use the crime story as a tool for upholding the dominant ideology.
