The murder of Bob Crane by
Robert Graysmith(
Book
)
4 editions published between 1993 and 1994 in English and held by 430 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In June 1978, Bob Crane, the star of the sixties sitcom Hogan's Heroes but now reduced to playing on the dinner-theater circuit, was found bludgeoned to death in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he was appearing in a comedy titled Beginner's Luck. There was what appeared to be a telephone cord knotted around his neck; his nondescript apartment, rented for him by the theater, was filled with pornographic pictures and videotapes of himself and numerous women - some from Scottsdale, others from cities where the play had previously toured. The killer could have been the husband or boyfriend of any of them, but it could also have been Bob's estranged wife, Patti, or his best friend, John Carpenter, who appeared with Bob in several of the tapes. Bob was cooling toward Carpenter, friends had noticed, though they had palled around in Scottsdale

Book
)
2 editions published in 2009 in English and held by 194 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
San Francisco, 1926: A series of women are slashed to death and dismembered. Incredibly, eyewitness reports claim the perpetrator was a hulking brute with razor-claws for hands who lumbered on all fours and laughed maniacally before shredding the nude flesh of his female victims. The tabloid press called him the Laughing Gorilla and loved every sensational beat of the story. For Inspector Charles Dullea of the San Francisco Police, the last honest cop in one of the most notoriously corrupt departments in the country, the serial killings raised a haunting question: "who could commit such crimes?" Nothing prepared Dullea for the answer
