Overview

From Jack (the Ripper) to Jodi (Arias) is a quiz book about misdeeds, misdemeanors, malfeasance and murder ... in fact and fiction. If you're a crime buff, then you can put your knowledge to the test with over 400 quizzes and over 5,000 questions. There are quizzes about swindlers and fraudsters; shoplifters and grifters; assassinations and executions; poisoners and parasites; spree, thrill, mass and serials killers; and ghouls of every description. There are, too, lighter quizzes and word puzzles about crime films, detective thrillers, police and PI series, violence in pop songs, and stage mysteries. Why a quiz book on crime? The raw truth seems to be that crime enthralls us, captivates us, and entertains us. We are fascinated by the world's evildoers. Why? Because it appears to be part of the stuff that makes us who we are.
