The story behind the attack that shocked a nation and opened a new chapter in the history of American crime.On July 14th, 1966, Richard Franklin Speck swept through several student nurses’ townhouse like a summer tornado and changed the landscape of American crime. He broke in as his helpless victims slept, bound them one by one, and then stabbed, assaulted, and strangled all eight in a sadistic sexual frenzy. By morning, only one young nurse had miraculously survived. The killer was captured in seventy-two hours; he was successfully prosecuted in an error-free trial that stood up to appellate scrutiny; and the jury needed only forty-nine minutes to return a death verdict.Here is the story of Richard Speck by the prosecutor who put him in prison for life with a brand new introduction by Bill Kunkle, the prosecutor of the infamous John Wayne Gacy Jr. In The Crime of the Century, William J. Martin has teamed up with Dennis L. Breo to re-create the blood-soaked night that made American criminal history, offering fascinating behind-the-scenes descriptions of Speck, his innocent victims, the desperate manhunt and massive investigation, and the trial that led to Speck’s successful conviction.

I had heard of these crimes but only became truly aware when the serial killer Richard Speck died and a video of him in prison was released. His callous behavior and the fact that he was seemingly enjoying life behind bars appalled me. I read about his heinous crimes, killing eight young nurses in Chicago in 1966, and I was even more appalled.When this book came up on my feed on Amazon as a suggested read, I picked it up. I wanted to read a definitive account of the crimes and the conviction and was hoping this would provide that. I wanted all of the nuts and bolts detail of what happened that one macabre night when Speck slaughtered eight women, but ignorantly left one alive – one that would, in the end, take him down. There was almost an Arya Stark (Game of Thrones) story there.I didn’t want to read the older book, Born to Raise Hell, because I had heard that it was one that seemed to favor the perspective of the criminal. As a true crime author, I don’t like the criminals being the focus of true crime books. I know some readers like those…I do not. I wanted not a shred of sorrow for this brutal murderer as I read about the crimes.This book did not disappoint.The authors have provided a well-balanced and comprehensive account of the killer, the victims, and a crime that shocked the nation. This is not a light read, which I embraced. I have nothing but respect for these authors. In the pages of Crime of Century, they have recreated the seedy, dingy neighborhoods and characters of 1966 Chicago. They put you back there as the police stalked a spree-killer through grungy bars and flop-houses. They masterfully take you on the journey of the surviving nurse, Corazon Amurao, to eventually take the stand against the man that killed her friends and roommates.Recreating such an old crime is never easy, but the authors have clearly done their homework. This is one of the better true crime books I have read in recent years and I highly recommend it. Add this one on your Kindle for your late-summer reading. Five stars and kudos to Martin and Kunkle!
