Another 20 Solved and Unsolved Tales from Around the World

From the frozen Arctic to tropical Thailand, from Communist show trials to aristocratic massacres, this volume delivers 20 meticulously researched cases that expose humanity at its most incomprehensible.

Featured Cases:

• The Mad Trapper of Rat River Canada's greatest manhunt: A mysterious stranger with cold eyes triggers a 48-day chase through Arctic wilderness, leaving two Mounties dead and a riddle that DNA testing still can't solve 90 years later.
• The Blackout Ripper: During WWII's London Blitz, an RAF airman used Hitler's bombs as cover for a terrifying murder spree—until a carelessly dropped gas mask led to his swift execution.
• The Stranglers - William Sleeman and The Thuggee: For centuries, travelers vanished on India's roads—merchants, pilgrims, entire families disappearing between towns as if swallowed by dust. Then a British officer uncovered the truth: a hereditary network of ritualistic stranglers were killing with handkerchiefs and burying victims in graves used for centuries.
• Aqua Tofana - The Widow Maker: For 40 years, Giulia Tofana ran baroque Rome's most successful murder enterprise, selling tasteless poison disguised as holy water to 600+ desperate women seeking "divorce" through undetectable death.
• The Tourist from Hell: A charming Englishman befriends tourists at airports in Asia, suggests sharing accommodations to save money, then transforms hotel bathrooms into butcher shops. Using skills learned in a prison meat-cutting course, Scripps dismembered at least three victims with surgical precision, stealing their identities and credit cards before moving to the next resort.
• The De Witt Brothers Murder: How a terrified mob in 1672 Holland brutally murdered and reportedly cannibalized two of the nation's most celebrated leaders in broad daylight—and got away with it.
• Lin Zhao's Blood Letters: Imprisoned by Mao's regime, a poet used her own blood as ink to write hundreds of thousands of prophetic words—then was executed and billed for the bullet.
• The Vampire of Zagłębie: Did Communist Poland execute the right man? Decades later, forensic inconsistencies and a fabricated diary suggest Poland's most notorious serial killer might have been an elaborate frame-up.
• The Child-Eater of Rayong: Thailand's first serial killer claimed a demon commanded him to murder children. His preserved corpse terrified generations—but was he guilty, or a scapegoat for xenophobia and incompetent forensics?
• The Girl in the Garbage Bin: When a Turkish teenager's dismembered body appeared in Istanbul's wealthiest district, it exposed how class privilege could shield a murderer—sparking a national reckoning against femicide.
