Holmes is notorious -- but only Harold Schechter's Depraved tells the complete story of the killer whose evil acts of torture and murder flourished within miles of the Chicago World's Fair. \"Destined to be a true crime classic\" (Flint Journal, MI), this authoritative account chronicles the methods and madness of a monster who slipped easily into a bright, affluent Midwestern suburb, where no one suspected the dapper, charming Holmes -- who alternately posed as doctor, druggist, and inventor to snare his prey -- was the architect of a labyrinthine \"Castle of Horrors.\" Holmes admitted to twenty-seven murders by the time his madhouse of trapdoors, asphyxiation devices, body chutes, and acid vats was exposed. The seminal profile of a homegrown madman in the era of Jack the Ripper, Depraved is also a mesmerizing tale of true detection long before the age of technological wizardry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pocket Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45356052119703,"sku":"9781439124055","price":2238.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781439124055.webp?v=1767309218","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/depraved-the-definitive-true-story-of-h-h-holmes-whose-grotesque-crimes-shattered-turn-of-the-century-chicago-9781439124055","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
