The Best New True Crime Stories: Crimes of Famous & Infamous Criminals

Out Now!

People from all walks of life commit crimes. But when they happen to be in the public eye, it provides a new level of fascination. These individuals are not your typical next-door neighbor or someone you ride the subway to work with each day—these are more widely known faces, even household names, celebrities, and Hollywood stars. We always hear about “famous” criminals like O.J. Simpson, Phil Spector, and Sid Vicious. But there are plenty of other public figures, both contemporary and historical, who have traveled down that very murky pathway toward criminal activity.

In The Best New True Crime Stories: Crimes of Famous & Infamous Criminals you’ll find original true crime accounts written expressly for this book featuring criminals ranging from actors, television personalities, rock stars, and other performers, to celebrated sports figures, theater moguls, legendary entrepreneurs, and aristocrats. It just goes to show how easily fame can turn into infamy.

“Author Mitzi Szereto has done it again. Her latest book, a true crime anthology titled The Best New True Crime Stories: Crimes of Famous & Infamous Criminals, includes stories from top crime writers that are wonderfully researched and compelling.

I highly recommend this anthology!”—Robert Kerbeck, corporate spy and author of RUSE: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street

One day it just sneaks up and bites you in the ass. And, as Mitzi Szereto’s latest collection shows, it could happen to anyone, no matter how high or mighty.
