Simon Baatz has written a wonderful true-crime book called "The Thrill Of It: Leopold, Loeb, and the Murder That Shocked Chicago." About eighty years ago, two wealthy young men wanted to commit the perfect murder. Their random and brutal killing of a young boy rocked Chicago and resulted in a trial at which they were represented by Clarence Darrow. Baatz explains the circumstances behind the murder, the details of the investigation and trial and the aftermath. I couldn't put the book down once I read the first page.
