WELCOME TO THE LATEST INSTALLMENT IN THE New York Times
bestselling series of stories about America’s most notorious criminals.
That’s right. No matter where you live, you’re in the middle of Notorious
USA.
Here, you’ll find them all…
A young woman vanishes from a beach on a summer day. A newlywed
disposes of his wife but doesn’t know what to do with her head. Selling tickets at
a drive-in movie theater proves deadly. A parent’s worst nightmare – a young
daughter disappears from a sleepover. We’re shocked by most crimes, sickened
over others, and laugh at a very few. Most are committed in the name of love
and greed, but the bottom line is they are stupid people doing stupid things.
We’ve written about some of these cases before. As time passes we learn
more about criminals and about what makes them tick, about their crimes, and
about their victims.
Here’s our expert take on several notorious criminals and, incidentally, how
they’re spending their time these days.
Most are locked up, doing time, and paying their debt to society. To do
otherwise would be a crime.
Don’t miss Bodies of Evidence, Notorious USA’s first box set and New York
Times bestselling collection about the criminals from our neck of the woods (the
Pacific Northwest). Like all of our collection, Bodies of Evidence is available as
an eBook on most formats, as well as in paperback and as an audio book.
Your crime scribes,
Gregg Olsen
