Moord en doodslag brengt de gruwelijkste moordpogingen door de eeuwen heen in kaart. Het boek behandelt de interessantste en brutaalste historische aanslagen die ooit gepleegd zijn: van het doordachte complot om Julius Caesar aan zijn einde te brengen, over de uitgekiende afrekening met de Romanovs tot de ongelukkige aanslag op John Lennon. Over al deze politieke afrekeningen, verijdelde pogingen en sluwe samenzweringen vertelt Jonathan J. Moore in zijn sappige schrijfstijl. Hij schreef eerder ook Galg en guillotine, Pest en cholera en Geheim en gevaarlijk. Sta versteld van de durf en vastberadenheid van de beruchtste criminelen ter wereld. Lees over hun creatieve wapens, van penpistolen tot een pot met thee, en de moeite die zij zich getroostten om hun moorddaden te plegen. Probeer te vatten wat sommige mensen ertoe beweegt om een leven te nemen. Fascinerende schilderijen en foto’s brengen deze sinistere menselijke geschiedenis weer tot leven.

"This book aims to describe and demystify what makes criminal gangs so culturally powerful. It examines their codes of conduct, initiation rites, secret communications methods, origin myths, symbols, and the like that imbue the gangsters with the pride and nonchalance that goes hand in hand with their criminal activities. Mobsters are everywhere in the movies, on television, and on websites. Contemporary societies are clearly fascinated by them. Why is this so? What feature and constituents of organized criminal gangs that make them so emotionally powerful-to themselves and others? These are the questions that have guided the writing of this textbook, which is intended as an introduction to organized crime from the angle of cultural analysis. Key topics include: An historic overview of organized crime, including the social, economic and cultural conditions that favour its development; A review of the type of people who make up organized gangs, and the activities in which they engage; The symbols, rituals, codes and language that characterize criminal institutions; The relationship between organized crime and cybercrime; The role of women in organized crime; Drugs and narco-terrorism; Media portrayals of organized crime. Organized Crime includes case studies and offers an accessible, interdisciplinary approach to the subject of organised crime. It is essential reading for students engaged with organized crime across criminology, sociology, anthropology and psychology"--

Rotart Sulli is a painter who illustrates crime fiction. In the first of two stories that comprise Visual Crime, Sulli gets a call from the publisher who gives him an assignment for Visual Crime Magazine, which comes with a peculiar requirement: Sulli is to stay at Hotel Ace in room 611 until his assignment is finished. He completes the assignment in the basement of the hotel but not without coming to blows with a janitor with a penchant for chucking toys into the furnace. In the book's second story, Sulli is once again hired to illustrate a crime story; and once again, it comes with a peculiar demand: he's told to place the finished work "in your back window-- it will be seen." In between these two stories are a dozen short stories occupying a single page, all illustrated by paintings by Sulli. Painted panel sequences alternate with Moriarty's rough-hewn, proletarian pen and ink panels amidst the luminous, Hopperesque paintings by Rotart Sulli, creating a portrait of the artist working alone in a mysterious and uncertain world, creating stunning images that transcend the melodramatic stories they illustrate
