Libro que se ha leído y que no tiene un aspecto nuevo, pero que está en un estado excelente. No hay desperfectos visibles en la tapa y se incluye sobrecubierta, si procede, para las tapas duras. Todas las páginas están en perfecto estado, sin arrugas ni roturas y no falta ninguna. El texto no está subrayado ni resaltado de forma alguna, y no hay anotaciones en los márgenes. Puede presentar marcas de identificación mínimas en la contraportada o las guardas. Muy poco usado.

Reviews
"Anyone who enjoys true crime books will be impressed at the scope of this book. The Forest City Killer should be at the very top of your non-fiction reading list." -- Shelf Life, "Author Vanessa Brown has taken the story of murder most foul and crafted a true tale of intrigue with so many twists and turns that it is almost unbelievable ... Untangling the web of murders as well as entertaining multiple theories, the writing of this book must have been a monumental task and yet Vanessa Brown proves herself as adept in not only untangling the many strands of the web, but also in providing readers with a cohesive and coherent timeline and a theory that comes across as convincing." -- Amie's Book Reviews blog, "When I talk about crime, at the top of the list is murder -- preferably, multiple murders and, ideally, unsolved murders that have become a fixation for the authors who obsessively investigate them. After spending four years researching and writing The Forest City Killer , Vanessa Brown still lies awake at night, her mind 'host to a constant parade of theories' about the unsolved serial murders she investigated in her hometown, London, Ontario." -- New York Times Book Review, "A truly impressive account of this dark chapter in the province's history ... Not just a sharp work of investigative journalism, The Forest City Killer is a poignant portrait of children and young people whose lives were cut short in horrific circumstances and a clarion call for long overdue justice. It is destined to become a classic of Canadian true crime." -- Quill & Quire , Starred Review, "Brown is a gifted storyteller and marshals her evidence with skill and genuine compassion for those who lost loved ones." -- Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, "Brown's smooth prose is a plus. True crime fans who don't need conclusive answers will be well satisfied." -- Publishers Weekly "Author Vanessa Brown has taken the story of murder most foul and crafted a true tale of intrigue with so many twists and turns that it is almost unbelievable . . . Untangling the web of murders as well as entertaining multiple theories, the writing of this book must have been a monumental task and yet Vanessa Brown proves herself as adept in not only untangling the many strands of the web, but also in providing readers with a cohesive and coherent timeline and a theory that comes across as convincing." -- Amie's Book Reviews blog, "Though Brown proposes her own theory about the Forest City Killer, she presents evidence in such a way to allow readers to draw their own conclusions. A must for true crime fans." -- Booklist, "Brown's smooth prose is a plus. True crime fans who don't need conclusive answers will be well satisfied." -- Publishers Weekly, "Brown has done an admirable job of compiling a tremendous amount of information and combing through clues in order to provide an intriguing possibility." -- Winnipeg Free Press

Synopsis
Recently featured in: The New York Times Bustle Quill & Quire Booklist Publishers Weekly CBC Toronto Star A My Favorite Murder recommended read "A must for true crime fans." - Booklist "A truly impressive account of this dark chapter in [Ontario's] history . . . Not just a sharp work of investigative journalism, The Forest City Killer is a poignant portrait of children and young people whose lives were cut short in horrific circumstances and a clarion call for long overdue justice. It is destined to become a classic of Canadian true crime." -- Quill & Quire , starred review Dig deep into the unsolved murder of Jackie English and join the hunt for a serial killer Fifty years ago, a serial killer prowled the quiet city of London, Ontario, marking it as his hunting grounds. As young women and boys were abducted, raped, and murdered, residents of the area held their loved ones closer and closer, terrified of the monster -- or monsters -- stalking the streets. Homicide detective Dennis Alsop began hunting the killer in the 1960s, and he didn't stop searching until his death 40 years later. For decades, detectives, actual and armchair, and the victims' families and friends continued to ask questions: Who was the Forest City Killer? Was there more than one person, or did a depraved individual commit all of these crimes on his own? Combing through the files Detective Alsop left behind, researcher Vanessa Brown reopens the cases, revealing previously unpublished witness statements, details of evidence, and astonishing revelations. And through her investigation, Vanessa posits the unthinkable: is it possible that the Forest City Killer is still alive and, like the notorious Golden State Killer, a simple DNA test could bring him to justice?, A gripping investigation retracing the steps of a forgotten killer, with new and previously unseen evidence leading to a shocking conclusion., Combing through the files the late Detective Alsop - assigned to the Forest City Killer case - left behind, researcher Vanessa Brown reopens the investigation, revealing previously unpublished witness statements, details of evidence, and astonishing revelations about how this serial killer got away. Through her investigation, Vanessa builds a case around the unthinkable: not only is he serial killer, the Forest City Killer is also still alive... and a simple DNA test could bring him to justice., Dig deep into the unsolved murder of Jackie English and join the hunt for a serial killer Fifty years ago, a serial killer prowled the quiet city of London, Ontario, marking it as his hunting grounds.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
