› Find signed collectible books: 'The Best American Crime Writing 2004'Book summary:A riveting new anthology seriesa years worth of the most powerful, the most startling, the smartest and most astute, in short, the best crime journalism.
Scouring hundreds of publications, guest editor Nicholas Pileggi, and series editors Otto Penzler and Thomas H. Cook have created a remarkable compilation of the best examples of the most current and vibrant of our literary traditions: crime reporting. Ranging in style from Mark Singers ribald The Chicken Warriors, an up-close look at the tawdry, wildly popular, illegal world of cock-fighting, to David McClinticks harrowing Fatal Bondage, the tale of a grifter with an attraction to sado-masochistic sex and serial killing, this collection showcases the wide variety of writing in the field today.
Criminal behavior itself also falls into a spectrum, from the isolated and idiosyncratic misdeed, such as that documented in Skip Hollandsworths The Killing of Alydar, an investigation into the greed that spawned the killing of a thoroughbred horse, to the large-scale malignancies that can shake an entire nation, as recounted in The Day of the Attack, Nancy Gibbss sobering retelling of the events of September 11, 2001.
Good crime writing is never just about the crime or the criminals, so this collection also has moving and often troubling portraits of the victims, their families, and the communities in which they lived, and, in pieces such as D. Graham Burnetts Anatomy of a Verdict, a reminder of the immensely difficult process that is coming to judgment.
Entertaining, at times alarming, Best American Crime Writing is compelling evidence of the furthest reaches of human behavior. [via]More editions of The Best American Crime Writing 2004:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Best American Crime Writing 2005'Book summary:The 2005 edition of The Best American Crime Writing offers the year's most shocking, compelling, and gripping writing about real-life crime, including Peter Landesman's article about female sex slaves (the most requested and widely read New York Times story of 2004), a piece from The New Yorker by Stephen J. Dubner (the coauthor of Freakanomics) about a high-society silver thief, and an extraordinarily memorable "ode to bar fights" written by Jonathan Miles for Men's Journal after he punched an editor at a staff party. But this year's edition includes a bonus -- an original essay by James Ellroy detailing his fascination with Joseph Wambaugh and how it fed his obsession with crime -- even to the point of selling his own blood to buy Wambaugh's books. Smart, entertaining, and controversial, The Best American Crime Writing is an essential edition to any crime enthusiast's bookshelf.
