Strictly Murder!: A Writer's Guide to Criminal Homicide

For writers wanting to attract readers a bit more sophisticated than the average viewer of television crime shows, provides information on murder motives, methods, and types; criminal profiles; police investigation, crime lab, medical examiner, and criminal court procedures; and other aspects of the profession. A highlight is a Los Angeles law enforcement agency's complete records of a case from the first report of the murder to the arrest of a suspect. The information can be used for crime writing in any media. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
