Blair Publisher, 2001 50% Ness, 50% Serial Killer, but important document! The book's title is somewhat misleading us into believing that the 1930s `The Untouchables' character of Elliot Ness ran a serial killer investigation. Half this book is the life and times of Ness who happened to be Director of Public Safety in Cleveland while his skid row turned up mostly unidentifiable dismembered remains of vagrants, it was Ness who gained the most attention throughout the ...             Toros & Torsos3 reviews Craig McDonald Bleak House Books, 2008 History and Mystery and Noir, oh my! McDonald's follow up to last year's quirky but delightful Head Games finds his series character Hector "The writer who lives what he writes" Lassiter caught up in an adventure which spans several decades as he tries to discover the identity of a serial killer seemingly inspired by surrealist art. Beginning in 1935 in the Florida Keys, and concluding in 1959 in Cuba, the novel also features the ...             Torso: A True Crime Graphic Novel14 reviews Brian Michael Bendis Image Comics, 2001 My first Bendis, Won't be my Last! I've heard good things about Brian Michael Bendis and finally got around to reading one of his works. Torso is a graphic novel that tells the true-crime story of a 1930s serial killer at work in Cleveland, Ohio, who leaves mutilated bodies around town with feet, hands and heads removed. At the same time, the city has hired famous lawman Eliot Ness to come from Chicago to clean up their corrupt ...             The Torso8 reviews Helene Tursten Soho Crime, 2007 WOW A GREAT READ one of the best mysteries i have read since i real all the henning mankel books...i think this is the best, very involved , good detective work and strong characters that are belieable. .... can;t wait for the next one             Mr. & Miss Torso1 review Edward Lee Bloodletting Press, 2002 "Mr. Torso" marks one of Lee's Best! Now I actually haven't read this actual chapbook, but I have read "Mr. Torso" in Edward Lee's collection of shorter works The Ushers. "Miss Torso" the sequel and counterpart story in Mr. and Miss Torso, is a newer Edward Lee short story, never before published. Since there are only two short stories in this book, it's only 40 pages, and it's very rare, therefore very pricy. Most of Lee's books ...             The Torso In The Town (Fethering Mysteries)7 reviews Simon Brett Berkley, 2003 Good book I love this series. Torso in the Town is not my favorite installment, but it's a good one nonetheless. I think the reason I didn't enjoy this one as much is because the townspeople were either excruciatingly annoying or downright evil. In the other books in the series, the townspeople are just quirky and you like to laugh at them. In this book, there just seemed to be more of a menacing tone. ...             The Torso Killer2 reviews R. Leith Pinnacle, 1991 Not the best, but not bad True, the beginning few chapters are a bit graphic in their descriptions of the attacks on the prostitutes...but that's to be expected a bit in a book about serial murder. Also, the second half of the book that describes the 2nd murder trail, starts to go back over some of the ground already covered in the first trial - kind of like a TV show coming back from commercial. But overall I think it ...             Arthurian Torso : Containing the Posthumous Fragment of the Figure of Arthur1 review Charles Williams Ams Pr Inc, 2003 Excellent Book This is an excellent book for anyone interested in the origins of the Arthurian myths or in Williams's collections of Arthurian poems. The first section, which discusses the history of the myth of King Arthur is interesting and informative. The only drawback is that the writer died before he could finish it. The second section, written by C. S. Lewis, is an enlightening discussion of ...             Torso. Brian Michael Bendis Tilsner Thomas, 2003             The Thames Torso Murders of Victorian London R. Michael Gordon McFarland & Company, 2002 This work delves deep into the case of the Thames Torso Murders. It begins with a look at London in the 1800s and the killer's path to London, which seems to include a murder in Paris in 1886. The book then examines in great detail each murder and the investigation that may have been hindered by the search for Jack the Ripper. It also raises the idea that Jack the Ripper and the Torso Murderer may have been the same man - Severin Klosowski, ...             Torso John Peyton Cooke Headline Book Publishing, 1993             Torsos4 reviews John Peyton Cooke Mysterious Press, 1995 Ripping Bodice Off a Lamb This is what you would get if you cross Silence of the Lambs w/ a bodice ripper romance. Exciting, engrossing, and definitely a page-turner. Anyone who is a fan of the criminal procedurals now in vogue on TV (CSI, Cold Case and its ilk) will no doubt enjoy this novel tremendously and I'm not even one. That the story is based on a real life crime makes it doubly interesting. It is not without ...              search for books arthur, arthurian, butcher, cleveland, containing, crime, eliot, fethering, figure, fragment, graphic, killer, laughing, london, murder, murders, mysteries, novel, posthumous, psychopathic, search, selina, shen, story, thames, toros, torso, torsos, unkindest, victorian books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
