{"product_id":"depraved-9781439124055b","title":"Depraved","description":"The heinous bloodlust of Dr. H.H. Holmes is notorious -- but only Harold Schechter's \u003ci\u003eDepraved\u003c\/i\u003e tells the complete story of the killer whose evil acts of torture and murder flourished within miles of the Chicago World's Fair. \"Destined to be a true crime classic\" (Flint Journal, MI), this authoritative account chronicles the methods and madness of a monster who slipped easily into a bright, affluent Midwestern suburb, where no one suspected the dapper, charming Holmes -- who alternately posed as doctor, druggist, and inventor to snare his prey -- was the architect of a labyrinthine \"Castle of Horrors.\" Holmes admitted to twenty-seven murders by the time his madhouse of trapdoors, asphyxiation devices, body chutes, and acid vats was exposed. The seminal profile of a homegrown madman in the era of Jack the Ripper, \u003ci\u003eDepraved\u003c\/i\u003e is also a mesmerizing tale of true detection long before the age of technological wizardry.","brand":"Gallery Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42986285105232,"sku":"9781439124055B","price":15.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/depraved-9781439124055b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
