all about Miami and its gritty crime scenes

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

RABCK Release... Enjoy!

Wow, thank you so much, chicagoguy5049, I was only expecting one book not all four. How generous of you!!!!!

Edna Buchanan has written a multi-faceted book about many of the crimes in Miami and the nearby area from her career as a crime reporter for local newspapers. She also wrote about her childhood and the journey that led her to journalism.

The author related how publicity usually aids in solving cases and apprehending the guilty,but not always. The "Pillowcase Rapist" was used as an example where that tactic failed.

Victims are not always located. Like in the case of Christopher Wilder where two of his victims' bodies were never discovered. The disappearance of a 17 year old girl was an unsolved mystery. The poignant story of her mother's courageous search in dangerous locales and her timeless determination was another side to that story. Edna Buchanan documented the carnage of the race riots that resulted after the McDuffie police brutality-murder case. There are a number of true life,colorful characters in "The Corpse had a Familiar Face" that make this book entertaining

I live in SW Florida, but on the other coast, and remember some of the stories she wrote about.

Reserving this to start an Already Book Crossed book box after I get a few more books read.
