The Best American Crime Writing: 2002 Edition: The Year's Best True Crime Reporting
by Otto Penzler
About this book
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, compelling reading, The Best American Crime Writing is sure to become a much-anticipated annual.
