Shadows of Death (True Crime Box Set): From the Crime Files of Notorious USA - Paperback

Shadows of Death True Crime Box Set

This box set combines three books from the New York Times bestselling Notorious USA series into one comprehensive collection. Wall Street Journal bestselling author Katherine Ramsland guides readers through the darkest criminal cases across New Jersey, New York, and Delaware.

New Jersey Crime Files

Beyond the legend of the Jersey Devil, New Jersey harbors real-life predators including sadistic nurses, thrill killers, and family murderers. This volume documents a mass murderer's List of Grudges, an adulterous minister killed alongside his mistress, and a wife who dismembered her husband. High-profile cases covered include the Lindbergh kidnapping, the Reso kidnapping, Howard Unruh's rampage, and the America's Most Wanted case that tracked down a family annihilator.

New York Crime Files

The Empire State earned its reputation as the birthplace of the term "serial killer." This book examines genius killers, violent child molesters, and the assassinations of Stanford White and John Lennon. Ramsland explores the strange case that inspired Edgar Allan Poe, murders that captivated filmmakers, scandalous crimes that transformed journalism, and a murderous writer. The collection includes investigations into Amityville and the disappearance of Judge Crater.

Delaware Crime Files

Delaware produced America's first documented female serial killer and a signature killer who drew FBI profilers to the case. This volume uncovers political intrigue surrounding an unsolved Wilmington mystery, a high-powered attorney who destroyed his life to punish his mistress, poisoners, bludgeoners, and privileged teenagers who killed their baby. Despite its small size, this corridor state between New Jersey and Maryland has housed remarkably dark criminals.
