From Mitzi Szereto

"Conjuring the spirits of Truman Capote and Damon Runyon (with the ghost of Patricia Highsmith looking on), the stories in The Best New True Crime Stories: Well-Mannered Crooks, Rogues & Criminals thrillingly depict real-life misdeeds throughout history. An Ecuadorian Robin Hood, an art scandal in Paris, new insights into the life and death of a Depression-era bootlegger—what's not to love?"—Abbott Kahler, New York Times bestselling author (as Karen Abbott) of The Ghosts of Eden Park

"What a fantastic collection of spellbinding true crime stories from around the world! Each one is deeply researched, thoughtful and fascinating. This anthology is simply good reading for any fan."—Kate Winkler Dawson, American Sherlock: Murder, Forensics, and the Birth of American CSI

Charming People Can Make the Deadliest Criminals!

Many of the most successful criminals in history have something in common. They are polite, charming, and loyal only to rules of their own making. The Best New True Crime Stories: Well-Mannered Crooks, Rogues & Criminals reveals true accounts of lawbreakers from the contemporary to the Depression-era and beyond. This anthology, edited by acclaimed author and anthologist Mitzi Szereto, features all-new stories from award-winning international crime writers, true-crime podcasters, journalists, and experts in the dark crimes. The tales on these pages prove that gentlemanly and gentlewomanly behavior—which allowed many to escape justice for so long—can often be a killer combination!
