<p>How did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle create a character so real and life-like? In a nutshell: he didn't! As is often the case, fiction stems from real life. In the case of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle's inspiration was Joseph Bell. While Joseph Bell doesn't have near the fame of his fictitious counterpart, Bell was actually a pioneer of forensic science. Bell's unique skills at observation and deduction made him a celebrity and famous lecturer in his homeland of Scotland. This book traces the life and times of one of the most important, but largely overlooked, scientists who ever lived.</p>

True Crime

In the early 1900s young women began disappearing near Budapest. Bela Kiss, a handsome young soldier, answered the call of war and left his home to fight in the first World War. His landlord, upon hearing of Kiss's alleged death, discovered several large barrels on his property, which he was told were filled with gasoline for rationing. When the barrels were opened, instead of gasoline, the authorities discovered something much more sinister. This short history describes the hunt for one of the world's most terrifying killers, a man who lured women to him home with promises of marriage, then proceeded to strangle them, drain their blood, and leave their pickled bodies preserved in barrels. The most horrifying fact about his crimes may be that he was never caught, and possibly picked up his murder spree in New York City. Read the chilling details in this book, and be careful next time you answer a romance ad!

Between 1918 to 1919 a serial killer ran rampant throughout New Orleans. His weapon of choice? The axe. He didn't spare women. Or children. Or even men.

Who could have been responsible for this crime, and how was the Mafia connected? Did a corrupt police department intentionally leave this case unsolved? Come, if you dare, as Absolute Crime takes you on the hunt for one of the most brutal killers who ever lived.

This chilling narrative will take you back in time to 1838, where you will learn the details of the case and how it became a national phenomenon.
