About the book:
Who did it? It’s the question every true crime enthusiast wants to know when they hear about a case. But some cases are never closed, the answers seemingly just out of reach. For the individuals involved—from the victims and their families to police investigators—this is the most frustrating and heartbreaking part of all. The Best New True Crime Stories: Unsolved Crimes & Mysteries examines a fascinating assortment of unsolved crimes from around the globe. A schoolgirl disappears from a bus stop in Rome. Two women are murdered in a national park. A British diplomat vanishes after leaving an inn. A Hollywood actor dies in bizarre circumstances. Indigenous Canadian women are abducted from the streets of Edmonton. A Swedish au pair is brutally murdered in Boston. These and other true crime accounts can be found in this exciting new collection of true crime stories.
