The Best American Crime Writing 2005
ByPublisher Description
The 2005 edition of
offers the year's most shocking, compelling, and gripping writing about real-life crime, including Peter Landesman's article about female sex slaves (the most requested and widely read
story of 2004), a piece from
by Stephen J. Dubner (the coauthor of
) about a high-society silver thief, and an extraordinarily memorable "ode to bar fights" written by Jonathan Miles for
after he punched an editor at a staff party. But this year's edition includes a bonus—an original essay by James Ellroy detailing his fascination with Joseph Wambaugh and how it fed his obsession with crime—even to the point of selling his own blood to buy Wambaugh's books. Smart, entertaining, and controversial,
is an essential edition to any crime enthusiast's bookshelf.
