Popular Crime: Reflections on the Celebration of Violence

With Popular Crime, Bill James turns his focus from baseball to true crime, and offers analyses on virtually every major true crime story from the past 250 years: O.J. Simpson, JonBenet Ramsey, the Lindbergh kidnapping, Sacco-Vanzetti, the Kennedy assassination, and many more. In each case, he examines the evidence in a thoughtful and original way, and comes up with sometimes brilliant and sometimes far-fetched insights.
