Reviews for Tracks to Murder (True Crime (Kent State University Press))
"In each of those places, a murder happened, all a long while ago - not just any old murder, no thud-and-blunder affair, but one that is worth remembering, rarely because of the crime itself but because of strangenesses arising from, or brought to light by, that crime." - from the Preface"
