The most memorable, for me, are not about one specific crime:
Michael Capuzzo, The Murder Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Gather to Solve the World's Most Perplexing Cold Cases
David Kennedy, Don’t Shoot: One Man, A Street Fellowship, and the End of Violence in Inner-City America
Art crime:
Robert Wittman, Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures
Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo, Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art
Check out Jeff Guinn on Manson and Bonnie & Clyde.
Also often a good read, as well as important, are books on false convictions, like Wells and Leo, The Wrong Guys: Murder, False Confessions, and the Norfolk Four.
