The Killer of Little Shepherds, by Douglas Starr

Categorized in:

the killer of little shepherds

A terrific historical take on the appalling acts of a French serial killer of the 1890s and the development of modern forensic sciences. The sections about the murderer are interesting, but the book soars in the scientific history and the uncovering of small details that make 1890s France seem like another planet.
