The Encyclopedia of Crime - Hardcover

On its first publication in 1993, Crime: An Encyclopedia broke new ground with controversial new assessments of major cases such as the 'Dingo' baby or Craig & Bentley, together with startling new evidence on unsolved crimes and penetrating studies of monstrous killers including Peter Sutcliffe and Denis Nilsen. Written in an authoritative and engaging style, Cyriax leaves no stone unturned. Now fully updated to include the latest crimes and criminals, such as Harold Shipman, and with 100 new photographs added, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CRIME is the definitive, indispensable and totally engrossing reference book for any crime enthusiast.

Oliver Cyriax worked for three years in reference publishing before qualifying as a solicitor. He is a journalist and film producer, and lives in London. Colin Wilson is the author of The Occult, The Serial Killers, The Mammoth Encyclopedia of the Unsolved and The Outsider. His son Damon shares his interests and has co-authored many books with Colin, including Scandal, Written in Blood: A History of Forensic Detection and The Encyclopedia of Unsolved Mysteries.
