Download or read book The Strange Crime of John Boulnois written by G K Chesterton and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colossus of crime leaned over to the little rustic priest with a sort of sudden interest. 'You have heard of it?' he asked. 'Where have you heard of it?' 'Well, I mustn't tell you his name, of course,' said the little man simply. 'He was a penitent, you know. He had lived prosperously for about twenty years entirely on duplicate brown-paper parcels. And so, you see, when I began to suspect you, I thought of this poor chap's way of doing it at once.' 'Began to suspect me?' repeated the outlaw with increased intensity. 'Did you really have the gumption to suspect me just because I brought you up to this bare part of the heath?' 'No, no,' said Brown with an air of apology. 'You see, I suspected you when we first met. It's that little bulge up the sleeve where you people have the spiked bracelet.' 'How in Tartarus,' cried Flambeau, 'did you ever hear of the spiked bracelet?' 'Oh, one's little flock, you know!' said Father Brown, arching his eyebrows rather blankly. One of detective fiction's most idiosyncratic and best-loved characters, G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown is both a diminutive, genial clergyman and a master sleuth. In these two stories involving the ingenious, unobtrusive priest, a murdered man denounces his killer with his dying breaths, and a brilliant French inspector follows a trail of gentil carnage across London. This book includes The Strange Crime of John Boulnois and The Blue Cross.

Download or read book True Crime Obsession written by Roger Harrington and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRUE CRIME OBSESSION: The True Crime Stories That Gripped The World Everyone loves a good murder story. Not in the sense that the people of the world want to see people murdered, but there is no better source for "car crash journalism" than the many stories of killers, rapists, and robbers that commit crimes around the world. Many of these men are strange or different, oddities that can be gawked at despite their terrible crimes. But some people commit crimes so monstrous or bizarre that they exceed even other criminals in their exposure. They often have unique personalities or tap into a societal fear, confirming the biases of the day through their actions. In the following chapters, we detail some of the biggest stories of the twentieth century. These criminals were not necessarily the most prolific or brutal in their actions, but something about their story resonated with the public of their nation. Their crimes were the top headlines for months as the people followed them through arrest, trial, and punishment.The existence of bizarre crimes is a natural occurrence. For as long as there are normal, mundane happenings in life, there will also be unspeakable atrocities which defy explanation going on at the same time. It is a terrifying concept which we have little individual control over, and this may be why we find such occurrences fascinating. This volume will cover some of the stories which have grasped the world by the throat and remained in our collective conscious until this day; whether that be for reasons of sheer brutality, cultural relevance or unique peculiarity. It is said that the truth is often stranger than fiction. The stories in this volume exist to prove this.
