When asked why true crime is so in vogue, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and New York
Times bestselling author Amber Hunt always has the same answer: it’s no hotter than
it’s always been. Crimes and trials have captured American consciousness since the
Salem Witch Trials in the seventeenth century. And these cases over the centuries have
fundamentally changed our society and shi ed our legal system, resulting in the laws we
have today and setting the stage for new rights and protections. From the first recorded
murder trial led by the first legal dream team, to one of the earliest uses of DNA, these
cases will fascinate.
