Abstract:"Greg King and Penny Wilson turn the original crime of the century on its head in this riveting exploration of the murder trial of Leopold & Loeb"--
In 1924 two wealthy and privileged teenagers-- Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb-- were charged and convicted for killing fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks for the thrill of it. The trial was made even more sensational by the revelation of a love affair between the defendants. Loeb has been portrayed as the psychopathic mastermind and Leopold as his infatuated disciple; this was accepted by history as fact. Using twenty-first century investigative tools, forensics, and a modern understanding of the psychology of these infamous killers, King and Wilson point to Leopold as the dominant partner in the deadly relationship, uncovering a dark obsession with violence and sex. -- adapted from jacket
