Categories: History

The Annals of Unsolved Crime (2013) is a book by investigative journalist Edward Jay Epstein. Epstein reexamines famous unsolved or disputed cases, from the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations to cases that still divide investigators and the public. He separates what is known from what is speculation and shows how official investigations can leave the public with lasting doubts about who did what and why.

• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is Ed Epstein's new book, "The Annals of Unsolved Crime." Epstein takes the accepted version of events from Lincoln and Kennedy's assassinations to Daniel Strauss - Kahn's sexual encounter in that New York hotel and he then undermines the accepted version with careful research and close reasoning. It's really good fun whether or not you end up convinced, but if you like conspiracy theories, read this book.”
