Description
In this gripping collection of twelve true stories, David Grann investigates the strange intersections of murder, madness, obsession, and the human need to impose order on chaos. From the mysterious death of a Sherlock Holmes authority and a convicted man’s fight for exoneration to prison conspiracies, elusive con artists, perilous engineering projects, and the hunt for a giant squid, these narratives venture into hidden and often dangerous worlds. With meticulous research, vivid storytelling, and a keen eye for the contradictions of human behavior, Grann transforms investigative journalism into suspenseful explorations of truth, justice, and the mysteries of real life.
