A Rage to Kill

A Rage to Kill:  Author's Words - Over the past 30 years, I have researched 1400 murder cases. Some are so unusual that they stand out in my memory. People kill one another for all manner of reasons: jealousy, revenge, anger, in the act of committing another felony, over love gone wrong--or even accidentally. However, the cases in this sixth volume of my True Crime Files demonstrate some of the most bizarre reasons for murder I ever encountered.  MORE ON THIS TITLE
