Description
Welcome to the dark side of the crime genre, where creeps and psychopaths dominate and the good guys don't always win. Award winning librarian Gary Warren Niebuhr organizes and describes more than 600 crime titles according to popular reading tastes. He adopts the premise that, as in mystery, character is the defining appeal characteristic of these books, but the characters are of a different sort. Books are arranged in three broad categories—"professional criminals," "caught up in crime," and "criminal detectives." Within these chapters, titles are organized in sections on the mob, serial killers, white-collar crime, criminals on the run, victims, cops-gone-bad, rogues, and more. True Crime is separated from fictional works. Annotations give brief plot summaries, noting the special appeal of the characters involved to help anyone find the perfect book.

Reviews:
-"This guide for fans of crime fiction and non-fiction organizes more than 600 titles into separate categories of professional criminals, criminal detectives, and getting “caught up in crime.” Niebuhr, an author and public library director in Wisconsin, provides plot summaries, publication information and brief subject cross-references such as kidnapping, organized crime and geographical locations. The 'caught up in crime' section further separates titles into themes of white-collar crime, serial killers, rogues, victims, and 'cops gone bad.'" —Reference & Research Book News
