Reading Murder Books Tryin' to Stay Hip: The Broken Token's True Crime Book Hit Parade... - Page 2

The following is a bibliography, based on books I've read, to use as a guide to case studies, articles and general histories on crime, serial murder, and the nature of homicide. It is suggestive rather than definitive, a list for the interested reader to begin with and from which to examine the historical and political contexts of the works, as well as their authors. Book titles noted are available at academic and public libraries.
