- Summary:
- A riveting new anthology series: a year's worth of the most powerful, the most startling, the most astute and smartest -- in short, the best crime journalism.
- Included in this first volume are Mark Singer's "The Chicken Warriors" from The New Yorker: an up-close look at the tawdry, wildly popular, illegal world of cock-fighting; E. Jean Carrol's "The Cheerleaders" from Spin: the story of how an idyllic town -- the model for Bedford Falls in It's a Wonderful Life -- was ravaged by murders, rapes, and suicides; and David McClintick's "Fatal Bondage" from Vanity Fair: the tale of a grifter with an attraction to sado-masochistic sex and serial killing. Intriguing, entertaining, and compelling reading, The Best American Crime Reporting is sure to become a much-anticipated annual.
