Award winning librarian Gary Warren Niebuhr organizes and describes more than 600 crime titles according to popular reading tastes. He adopts the premise that, as in mystery, character is the defining appeal characteristic of these books, but the characters are of a different sort. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBooks are arranged in three broad categories--\"professional criminals,\" \"caught up in crime,\" and \"criminal detectives.\" Within these chapters, titles are organized in sections on the mob, serial killers, white-collar crime, criminals on the run, victims, cops-gone-bad, rogues, and more. True Crime is separated from fictional works. Annotations give brief plot summaries, noting the special appeal of the characters involved to help anyone find the perfect book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Warren Niebuhr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591584280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591584285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2009 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 303","brand":"Gary Warren Niebuhr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052916863231,"sku":"9781591584285","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41868d6c-6013-463e-b289-35de7dff6411.jpg?v=1685021365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caught-up-in-crime-gary-warren-niebuhr-9781591584285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
