Strangers in the Night: Illinois

Welcome to the latest installment in the New York Times best-selling series of stories about America’s most notorious criminals.

With this release, it’s all about Illinois. Any state that contains a large city will yield many crime stories. Chicago has certainly had its share. With the impact of gangsters, Prohibition, and a few creative serial killers, this city has it all. But murder happens in smaller towns, too, because greed, depravity, and jealousy exist everywhere.

Acclaimed author Katherine Ramsland starts this volume with some historic crimes before moving on to the more infamous tales.
