"An excitingly gruesome collec­
tion of true stories about criines
committed in the name of tust
and love!"
Louisville COURIER-JOURNAL
"Chalk up another success in the true
crime field to Edward Radin. The new
collection CRIMES OF PASSION
belongs in the category of
comparatively few books, those which
you don't want to finish because
you don't want them to end."
Albuquerque TRIBUNE
FROM THE REVIEWS
"For readers who enjoy true life stories of murder, I
enthusiastically recommend Edward D. Radio's
CRIMES OF PASSION ... a trained crime reporter,
Mr. Radin writes his sagas of savagery in direct,
forceful prose that has terrific impact ... This col­
lection belongs on the shelf of every collector of true
crime material, and will be read with shuddering zest
b
y
those who realize that fact is often much stranger
and more dramatic than fiction."
"Eleven crimes, most of which involve love or lust,
make up Edward D. Radio's new collection of actual
police cases. The author makes most of his female
murderers and victims young and attractive and
otherwise tailors the tales for popular appeal. But the
facts themselves possess a grisly interest, and Radin's
style is excitingly brisk."

"Crime fans will have a picnic with-CRIMES OF
PASSION, authored by Edward D. Radin and one of
the best tomes of its kind to come along in many years.
The book contains the true.stories of some of the most
shocking crimes in murder lore, including the stories of
Winnie Ruth Judd, the trunk murderess; of Fatty
Arbuckle, whose case once rocked the entire Hollywood
film colony, and of Madeline Webb, the most beautiful
woman ever tried for murder i:ri New York. Not to be
forgotten are the tales of th!l Texas Tavern keeper,
Joe Ball, who made mistresses out of his waitresses and
then tossed 'em to the alligators when he was througl1
with them. Fascinating reading, this book."
