New York: Knopf, 1975. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Hardcover. 293 pp. plus index. Illustrated with photos. First edition (stated). Fine in fine, price clipped dust jacket. The story of one of the most (in)famous true crime cases in late 20th century New York City. In 1965, Alic Crimmins reported her two children--five year old Eddie, Jr. and four-year old Missy--missing from their Kew Gardens, Queens home. Later that day, Missy's strangled body was found (Eddie's never was) and police had no clues to the identity of the killer. Crimmins was followed and covertly recorded by the NYPD for three years and was, in 1968, charged with manslaughter in Missy's death. She was convicted but upon appeal the verdict was overturned; in 1971, she was charged with first-degree murder in Eddie's death and manslaughter in Missy's death, was convicted of both but this verdict as well was overturned in 1973, following which she was re-convicted of manslaughter in Missy's death. She was paroled in 1978.
