Texas True Crime

封面
University of Texas Press, 2010年1月1日 - 247 頁

The finest in true-crime writing from the Lone Star State, from marital murder in the Houston suburbs to bloody battles under the streetlights of Amarillo.

For a half century, one magazine has covered crime in Texas like no one else, delving deep into stories that may turn your stomach—but won’t let you turn away. This collection from the archives of Texas Monthly is a high-speed read around Texas, chasing criminals from the Panhandle to the Piney Woods, through gated mansions and trailer parks, from 1938 to the twenty-first century. The stories come from some of its most notable writers:

·      Cecilia Ballí investigates the drug-fueled violence of the border

·      Pamela Colloff reports on Amarillo’s lethal feud between jocks and punks

·      Michael Hall revisits the legend of Joe Ball, a saloon owner who allegedly fed his waitresses to pet alligators

·      Skip Hollandsworth uncovers the computer nerd who became Dallas’s most notorious jewel thief

Katy Vine tracks a pair of teenage lesbians inspired by Thelma and Louise, and more
