From the pristine dust jacket: "THE TWO FORGERS describes the lives and career of two very different men who came together in one of the greatest frauds in the history of book collecting. Harry Buxton Forman worked in the late Victorian era in the Post Office rising to be Comptroller of Packet services. In his spare time he was a serious literary scholar who edited Keats and Shelley. Thomas James Wise was a commodity dealer in a firm which specialized in essential oils� He was also one of the most influential book collectors of his generation and President of the Bibliographical Society. This fascinating book describes how Wise and Forman joined forces in a conspiracy to forge a wide range of first editions of Victorian authors. The course of this conspiracy is traced and is related to each man's biography. THE TWO FORGERS also contains an account of the sensational unmasking of the plot in 1934. It re-tells a remarkable passage of literary history and re-interprets it in the light of recent research.". First Edition. Hardcover.

What he found on the scene were the brutally murdered bodies of that couple in a gruesome crime that led to the prosecution of their daughter� As explosive and riveting as the best crime novel MURDER ALONG THE WAY is Gribetz's professional and personal story of more than two decades of prosecuting violent crimes most of them in seemingly idyllic suburban Rockland county north of New York City� Here are tales of murder family violence robbery and terrorism - this country's criminal problems in microcosm. Many cases Gribetz has prosecuted were major news stories: the infamous Brink's robbery carried out by a ferocious remnant of the Black Liberation Army and the brutal sado-masochistic murder involving New York City art dealer Andrew Crispo in which the only clues were the charred and half-devoured remains of the victim and a sexual-torture death mask.".

NO remainder mark. Light dust/soil on the edges of the text block. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Illustrated with 8 pages of photos. "First Printing February 1992" is so stated with complete number row 10 987654321 on the copyright page. Bound in the original blue boards with a red cloth spine lettered in shiny silver. From PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: "Probably the most famous crime in Georgia history was the 1973 cold-blooded slaughter of six members of the religious law-abiding Alday farm family by four drifters from Baltimore: brothers Billy and Carl Isaacs their half-brother Wayne Coleman and friend George Dungee. Forensic evidence and confessions left no doubt of the killers' guilt; the youngest Billy Isaacs turned state's evidence and the other three were sentenced to death. Then the appeals process took over and after 12 years the death penalty convictions were overturned. In later trials Carl was resentenced to die and is now on death row awaiting further appeals. In the meantime the surviving Alday women five of the victims were men were unable to carry on the work of the farm and the land passed to outsiders. The trials hearings and appeals have cost an impoverished rural county and the state hundreds of thousands perhaps millions of dollars. Psychologically the survivors have never recovered. With this scorching indictment of the legal and court systems Cook Early Graves portrays a case in which justice was both delayed and denied. He is most persuasive." From the Dust Jacket: "This is the fascinating true-crime account of the most shocking mass murder in Georgia history. It was spring of 1973 when the two Isaacs brothers escaped from a Maryland prison with a friend who was all too willing to follow their conscienceless whims. Joined by a third brother the deadly gang headed south on a thrill-seeking crime spree that led to rural Georgia - and the close-knit hardworking Alday family. Thus the stage was set for an orgy of cold-blooded grisly violence. As an electrically riveting courtroom drama and as a chilling illumination of our flawed justice system. BLOOD ECHOES is a gripping haunting terrifying true story." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Fine dust jacket.
