First Edition
First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dust wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 300 pages; Summary; At the end of the nineteenth century, serial murderer Joseph Vacher, dubbed "The Killer of Little Shepherds," terrorized the French countryside. He eluded authorities for years-until he ran up against prosecutor Emile Fourquet and Dr. Alexandre Lacassagne, the era's most renowned criminologist. The two men typified the Belle Epoque, a period of immense scientific achievement and fascination with its promise to reveal the secrets of the human condition. With high drama and stunning detail, Douglas Starr recounts the infamous crime and punishment of Vacher, interweaving the story of how Lacassagne and his colleagues developed forensics as we know it. We see one of the earliest uses of criminal profiling, as Fourquet painstakingly collects eyewitness accounts, leading to Vacher's arrest. And we see the twists and turns of the celebrated trial: to disprove Vacher's defense by reason of insanity, Fourquet recruits Lacassagne, who had revolutionized criminal science: refining the use of blood spatter evidence, systematizing the autopsy and doing ground-breaking research in psychology. Lacassagne's forensic investigation ranks among the greatest of all time, and its denouement is gripping. An important contribution to the history of medicine and criminal justice, impressively researched and thrillingly told.

Book First Edition
Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. The chilling, untold story of one of the first recorded serial killers and the men that proved his guilt. At the end of the 19th century, serial murderer Joseph Vacher, dubbed "The Killer of Little Shepherds," terrorised the French countryside with a brutal crime spree that claimed at least 11 victims, mostly adolescent farmworkers. The case captured the public's imagination like no other: newspapers whipped the story up into a frenzy, vigilante mobs were formed and innocent people accused. Vacher, a wandering vagrant and onetime soldier, was finally tracked down by prosecutor Emile Fourquet and the case assigned to Dr. Alexander Lacassagne, the era's most brilliant criminologist. The two men typified the Belle Epoque, a period of fervent scientific change and revolutionary thinking. With high drama and stunning detail, the author recounts Vacher's infamous crimes and interweaves the story of how Lacassagne and his colleagues developed forensic science as we know it, pioneering techniques that would form the cornerstone of the case against the killer. Tracing the twists and turns of the celebrated trial we follow Vacher - by now an infamous and internationally reviled figure - on his inevitable journey to the guillotine. Illus. + pictorial pds, Notes, Bibliog. and Index. 301pp. 8vo. h/back. F. in F. dw.
