<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The heinous bloodlust of Dr. H.H. Holmes is notorious -- but only Harold Schechter's <i>Depraved</i> tells the complete story of the killer whose evil acts of torture and murder flourished within miles of the Chicago World's Fair. Destined to be a true crime classic (Flint Journal, MI), this authoritative account chronicles the methods and madness of a monster who slipped easily into a bright, affluent Midwestern suburb, where no one suspected the dapper, charming Holmes -- who alternately posed as doctor, druggist, and inventor to snare his prey -- was the architect of a labyrinthine Castle of Horrors. Holmes admitted to twenty-seven murders by the time his madhouse of trapdoors, asphyxiation devices, body chutes, and acid vats was exposed. The seminal profile of a homegrown madman in the era of Jack the Ripper, <i>Depraved</i> is also a mesmerizing tale of true detection long before the age of technological wizardry.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The Boston Book Review" An astonishing piece of popular history.<br><br>Ann Rule This is "must" read for crime buffs!<br><br>Caleb Carr author of "The Alienist" Riveting....Brilliantly detailed....Amazing.<br><br>"The Boston Book Review"<P>An astonishing piece of popular history.<br><br>Ann Rule<P>This is "must" read for crime buffs!<br><br>Caleb Carr<P>author of "The Alienist"<P>Riveting....Brilliantly detailed....Amazing.<br>
