Customer Reviews

Do NOT pick-up hitchhikers!

David Jacobs, the hardboiled true crime writer who gave us Hellcats, Vixens, & Vicedolls: Women, Crime, and Kink of the Fifties and Ku Klux Klan America's First Terrorists Exposed (Shadow History of the United States), partner-ups with True Detective Magazine to round-up the usual suspects in this blood and octane fueled crime expose. Road Kill: From the Files of True Detective Magazine reads fast and furious like a getaway car racing away from a double murder!

good & fast read

If you like true crime & want all the information in a few pages you will like this book. It is full of short stories that start with the crime. Tells you about the victim, the cops on the job, how they find the killer, about the crime & the outcome. Really a good true crime book.
