Description

"Unsolved crimes takes an illuminating look at forty of history's most notorious felonies, from the axe-murderer who terrorized New Orleans to the disappearance of the British toddler Madeleine McCann. The notorious crimes covered in these pages have one thing in common: despite extensive investigations by professional and amateur sleuths alike, the culprits have so far evaded justice"--Cover flap.
