Holmes, Whose Grotesque Crimes Shattered Turn-of-the-Century Chicago","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe heinous bloodlust of Dr. H.H. Holmes is notorious -- but only Harold Schechter's Depraved tells the complete story of the killer whose evil acts of torture and murder flourished within miles of the Chicago World's Fair. \"Destined to be a true crime classic\" (Flint Journal, MI), this authoritative account chronicles the methods and madness of a monster who slipped easily into a bright, affluent Midwestern suburb, where no one suspected the dapper, charming Holmes -- who alternately posed as doctor, druggist, and inventor to snare his prey -- was the architect of a labyrinthine \"Castle of Horrors.\" Holmes admitted to twenty-seven murders by the time his madhouse of trapdoors, asphyxiation devices, body chutes, and acid vats was exposed. The seminal profile of a homegrown madman in the era of Jack the Ripper, Depraved is also a mesmerizing tale of true detection long before the age of technological wizardry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49520412098787,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781439124055-1.jpg?v=1788384354","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781439124055","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
