Alexander Stevens, 9 1/2 PERFECT MURDERS

Piper - Non-Fiction - Paperback - November 2017 - 224 pages

Approximately 1200 homicides go undetected every year. But even if the crimes are discovered, this does not mean that the perpetrators can be convicted. Even in times of mobile phone tracking and sophisticated DNA analysis, it can still exist: the perfect murder. In his new book, defence lawyer Alexander Stevens describes 10 true and current murder cases in which almost all the perpetrators get off unharmed. In an exciting and detailed account of the events and the investigations, he explains how it is possible for the murderers to get away with their crimes - each in his own unique way.
