Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
After his "Untouchables" exploits, Eliot Ness became the Cleveland director of public safety in 1934. He launched a mostly successful campaign against crime and corruption, but his record was somewhat marred by a series of gruesome, motiveless murders which were never solved. The "Torso Murderer" was responsible for at least 13 victims--ten never identified and all decapitated and dismembered. Since Ness was not a homicide detective, his Cleveland years are peripheral to the "Torso" case. The latter will be of some interest to crime buffs, but there is just not enough compelling material in this slim volume for a general audience.

Thinking I'd purchased simply a true crime book, I was astonished to find that this book weaves the later career of Eliot Ness with politics in Cleveland in the l930's and 1940's with the unkown identity of a gruesome serial killer at that time. The author's sense of time and place is terrific. I was swept back to that time in history, almost against my will. And I found this to be far more horrifying a book than it appears. When I was two-thirds of the way done, I found that I absolutely had to close and lock my bedroom window. These crimes may have been committed before I was born, but they're still shocking and terrifying. See if you agree with me that Eliot Ness's take on who committed these crimes is the right one! Horrifying, historical, accurate, mesmerizing, all at once. I recommend it to anyone interested in terrific reading.

The scariest true crime story ever written , you may find yourself sleeping with the lights on , or looking out the window before you hit the sack , but don't miss this one , for an interesting look at serial murder in the early part of the century in America , and law enforcement's baffle with the unknown , heads will roll.

I've read a lot of true crime books, and this book is absolutely the creepiest among them. That the killer (who was never caught) is long since dead wasn't much comfort to me at bedtime. And to think he left a victim or two in my own city! If you like good creepy true crime accounts, I recommend this book without hesitation.
