by David Southwell, Martin Fido
Compare to estimated retail price: S$26.53  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

True Crime - Thryft
True Crime - Thryft

Dark, chilling tales of history's worst criminals.

Recommendation: If you have an interest in true crime, this book is a must-read. It provides detailed accounts of the most notorious and disturbing criminals in history and is filled with over 450 photographs to bring their stories to life. The book is not for the faint of heart, and readers should expect to be horrified by the depravity of these individuals. But for those with a fascination for true crime, this book is a gripping read that will leave a lasting impression.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
