Eliot Ness and the Mad Butcher: Hunting America's Deadliest Unidentified Serial Killer at the Dawn of Modern Criminology by Max Allan Collins

3.0

I enjoyed and was kept interested in this biography of the later years of Elliot Ness *but* I felt mislead by the title of the book and its elements. While they did discuss the Torso Killer case it wasn’t much of the focus on the book. It felt almost as an afterthought. Admittedly, I read it with the expectation it would be a bigger element and I don’t know that I would have read it otherwise. Still, it was interesting and engaging but I feel the audience is being mislead by the title.
