Witness the most controversial and famous true crime cases that shook the 20th century! These 240 pages retell the love affair that ended the life of prominent architect Stanford White, the New Orleans' Axe-Man and his gruesome killing spree, and the abduction (and resulting media circus) of aviator Charles Lindbergh's son--all collected in a handsome quarter-bound omnibus

Anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were accused of robbery and murder, but so many supposedly damning pieces of evidence were questionable that their guilty verdict elicited massive protests around the world. Geary presents readers with all the twists and turns, appeals and dubious evidence after presenting the human faces of the two men - demonised by many and turned to martyrs by many others - in his usual unflappable style.

In this omnibus volume from Geary's acclaimed Treasuries of Murder comes the next trilogy of real life Victorian murders. This handsomely-bound omnibus brings together the famous double axe murder by Lizzie Borden, the drowning of Mary Rogers, the Benders (who summarily offed customers to their inn), poisoner Madeleine Smith and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

This specially priced banded set of paperbacks provides an engrossing, illustrated journey into true crime classics of the late Victorian era and early 20th century, including three works in Rick Geary's increasingly storied treasuries of murder: Famous Players, The Lindbergh Child and The Case of Madeleine Smith. These carefully researched presentations of true crime stories, including a bibliography of research sources, present true facts about famous murders as brilliant entertainment.

Trotsky was a hero to some, a ruthless demon to others. To Stalin, he was such a threat that he warranted murder by pickax. This polarizing figure set up a world conflict that lasted through the twentieth century, and in A Graphic Biography, the renowned comic artist Rick Geary uses his distinct style to depict the stark reality of the man and his times. Trotsky's life becomes a guide to the creation of the Soviet Union, the horrors of World War I, and the establishment of international communism as he, Lenin, and their fellow Bolsheviks rise from persecution and a life underground to the height of political power. Ranging from his boyhood in the Ukraine to his fallout with Stalin and his moonlight romance with Frida Kahlo, Trotsky is a stunning look at one of the twentieth century's most important thinkers and the far-reaching political trends that he launched.

A True History of Violence (and Crimefighting, Politics, and Power)In the hands of gifted cartoonist Rick Geary, J. Edgar Hoover's life becomes a timely and pointed guide to eight presidents--from Calvin Coolidge to Richard Nixon--and everything from Prohibition to cold war espionage. From a nascent FBI's headlinegrabbing tracking down of Dillinger and Machine Gun Kelly in the 1930s to Hoover's increasingly paranoid post-WWII authorizing of illegal wiretaps, blackmail, and circumvention of Supreme Court decisions, J. Edgar Hoover: A Graphic Biography provides a special window into the life of an outsized American and a bird'seye view on the twentieth century.

Set in 19th century Scotland, the story revolves around a forbidden romance between an upper-class woman and a gentleman of lower status. Their passionate relationship takes a dark turn when it leads to a shocking murder by poison, unraveling the complexities of class, love, and betrayal. As secrets come to light, the characters must navigate the dangerous consequences of their actions in a society bound by rigid social hierarchies.

The most famous assassination of the Victorian era. The details he reveals are fascinating. Booth worked with a group of disgruntled Southern sympathizers out to decapitate much of the US Executive branch, not just the President! Geary also details the flight of the culprits and the hot pursuit of federal agents.
