Zeigt Titel in Mord

Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass True Crime nichts für schwache Nerven ist. Denn die wahren und authentischen Kriminalfälle erzählen von Menschen, die uns als freundliche Nachbarn, aufopfernde Eltern oder liebevolle Partner bekannt sind. Personen hinter deren bürgerlichem Auftreten sich dann aber unsagbar tiefe menschliche Abgründe auftun und niemand - selbst im näheren Umfeld - hätte dies für möglich gehalten. Adrian Langenscheid erzählt in seinem zweiten Buch "TRUE CRIME USA" aufs Neue von echten Straftaten aus der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft.

In One of Us, the journalist Åsne Seierstad tells the story of this terrible day and what led up to it. What made Breivik, a gifted child from an affluent neighborhood in Oslo, become a terrorist?

Die Osage-Morde wurden zum ersten großen Fall für das noch junge FBI. Doch Korruption und Geldgier hatten auch hier bereits Einzug gehalten.
