Editorial Review:
Description:
'A jury acquitted Lizzie. In a crime novel, someone would say, 'the killer is still loose out there somewhere!'
Okay, which killer? And where?'
-Author Ed McBain on Lizzie Borden
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
and gave her mother 40 whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
she gave her father 41.
Or so goes the nursery rhyme. But a hundred years later how many people know the real story of Lizzie Borden? Guilty in the minds of many, Lizzie was tried, but never convicted of the gruesome hatchet murders of Abby and Andrew Borden.
It is a fascinating murder-mystery, reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel. Once we reopen the Lizzie Borden case, the nursery rhyme may no longer sound as convincing, especially when we hear the shocking 'solution' to the case, posed by one of our best-known crime fiction writers, Ed McBain.
A brave new genre in storytelling, Case Reopened fuses history, mystery and scientific research by enlisting the greatest minds in crime fiction to re-examine some of our most notorious unsolved crimes.
