Compulsion by Meyer Levin
5.0
This is a fictionalized account of the 1924 case of Leopold and Loeb, two young adults who murdered a young boy. Both young men saw themselves as "supermen," above the law, and smarter and more clever than police.
The author, Meyer Levin, was a rookie reporter who was a classmate of both boys and who helped to crack the case. Leopold and Loeb were defended by Clarence Darrow, and the crime was considered at the time to be the "crime of the century."
