★★★ Eine der seltsamsten wahren Kriminalgeschichten, die Sie lesen werden ★★★Der Mord war brutal - vergewaltigt und erdrosselt. Der Fall war klar und eindeutig - ein Mann hatte den Mord gestanden, und er wurde leicht verurteilt. Es gab jedoch ein Problem mit der Aussage des Mannes... er war ein pathologischer L gner, der ber 200 andere Verbrechen gestanden hatte - von denen viele nie stattgefunden hatten. ber 27 Jahre lang sa Sean Hodgson, der verurteilte M rder, im Gef ngnis f r ein Verbrechen, das er nicht begangen hatte. Der wahre M rder, der 17-j hrige David Lace, hatte das Verbrechen ebenfalls gestanden, aber die Polizei glaubte ihm nicht.Dieses fesselnde Buch nimmt den Leser mit auf die Jagd nach dem wahren M rder und enth llt die Entstehung der Operation Iceberg - der Operation, die zur DNA- berpr fung von ber 240 weiteren Verurteilungen f hrte.
Pompeji war eine der fortschrittlichsten St dte ihrer Zeit; sie verf gte ber ein komplexes Wassersystem, eine Sporthalle und ein Amphitheater. Trotz ihrer Fortschritte war sie auf eine Sache nicht vorbereitet: Der Vesuv - der Vulkan, der zum endg ltigen Untergang der Stadt f hrte.Der Ausbruch des Vesuvs 79 n. Chr. war eine der schlimmsten Katastrophen in der europ ischen Geschichte. In k rzester Zeit starben ber 15 000 Menschen und eine Stadt wurde v llig zerst rt.Dieses Buch befasst sich mit dem Aufstieg, dem Fall und der Wiederentdeckung der gro en Stadt Pompeji.
The Birds was different from most of Hitchcock's work. For admirers of Hitchcock, The Birds also raises disturbing questions about the director as a person. He was a complex and confusing character in many ways, and perhaps it's not surprising that someone who built a career out of creating suspense and fear on-screen might also have had some darker sides to his personal life.Beyond the details of the story and how it came to be filmed, though, one of the most interesting questions about The Birds is why Hitchcock made it in the first place. It took its title from a short story by English author Daphne du Maurier, but beyond the basic idea of people being attacked by birds, it didn't take much else from it. The storyline was pure Hitchcock. So where did it come from?It turns out that his inspiration was a strange and alarming incident that happened just a few miles from his home in California. This book uncovers the truth behind the plot as well as other factoids that fascinate any fan of the film.
Read the crime that inspired the movie They wanted to create the Perfect Crime--to kidnap and murder a 14-year-old boy for the thrill of getting away with murder.The crime was so horrifying that even legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock took notice, and directed his version of the story: Rope. But the real story of the Rope is much more brutal and suspenseful than even Hitchcock could do justice to. Read the real history in this thrilling true crime book.
Read the story that inspired the classic movie It seemed that the entire justice system was deaf to his pleas and all too willing to ignore the evidence his defenders had worked so hard to unearth. In the end it was only a slip by the real perpetrator that proved his innocence.While the movie certainly had it's share of truth, it was still a movie, and parts were fabricated. This book tells the real story behind the movie.
The truth is stranger than fiction In October 1962 it looked to millions of people like the politicians of the United States and Russia were determined to push the other across the fatal line of launching a nuclear strike. The fate of the world hung on Cuba, a troubled island state in the Caribbean.Woven through the dramatic events in and around Cuba was a quieter but perhaps equally dangerous scandal - an enormous, deeply embedded network of Soviet spies at the heart of the NATO alliance. A senior KGB defector had revealed that his agency had penetrated the highest levels of the French government, military, and intelligence services - but when a French agent tried to act he found himself blocked at every turn by his own superiors.Alfred Hitchcock was so impressed by the fictional novel about the events (Topaz by Leon Uris) that he decided to adapt it into a movie. But fiction, as is often the case, only got half of the story. This book tells the remarkable true account of one of the greatest espionage scandals to rock the Cold War.
The truth is stranger than fiction For movie buffs, Alfred Hitchcock will always be associated with a long list of Hollywood classics. Between 1921 and 1976 the English director known as the Master of Suspense released 52 feature films, many of which are still thrilling new audiences today. To most people, though, he's best known for a film that was very different - Psycho.The most fascinating part of the movie, however, is actually the real story behind it. This book tells the chilling true story behind the movie.
Jack the Ripper may get all the fame, but his 1960s counterpart, Jack the Stripper, will really send shivers down your spine. At least six women, all prostitutes, were murdered at his hand--possibly more. Most intriguing of all...he was never caught. The crimes, though often forgotten today, inspired the crime novel "Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square," which Alfred Hitchcock turned into the 1972 movie, "Frenzy." Go inside the hunt for this brutal killer in this gripping short biography.
