First-rate true crime writing and much more: Fox takes the story of a brutal 1908 murder of a wealthy Glasgow woman and the Jewish foreigner who was punished for it and draws smart, intriguing connections to both the Holocaust and the present day. Eloquent discussions of otherization, racism, and profiling that enhance rather than distract from the specificity of the crime and its investigation.
Helpful footnotes, plentiful photos, and strong indexing and bibliography. Highly recommended.
