One that stands out for me is an oldie but a goodie, Joseph Wambaugh's "Echoes in the Darkness". An excellent account written with biting sarcasm about the hunt for the killers of a woman and her two young children. Buried Dreams: Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer by Tim Cahill is one of many books about the infamous serial killer, John Wayne Gacy. I read it many years ago but one passage that particularly stands out is towards the end of the book when Gacy's is in his lawyers office late at night. The lawyer is so scared by what he is being told that he asks Police waiting outside who were following Gacy to come in and wait in the office.
