I am pleased to have purchased this book which according to the publisher is the first in a series of books detailing the case histories of all convicted inmates executed in the 21st century by the people of the United States. I note that each case history juxtaposes details of the capital crime with the capital punishment and always includes hard to find information regarding the disposition of co-defendants. I know of no other source that provides such a wealth of information.
Finding the book to be well written and easy to read I commend the authors for including case citations to both published and unpublished court opinions something that is not easily accessible to the lay person and very often difficult or unduly costly to those of us fortunate enough to have access to legal search engines like Lexis and Westlaw. In my opinion this book is one of very few criminology books that will appeal to both the scholar and the lay person. I especially enjoy the fact that the authors have been careful not to interpose their opinions in a subject that is certain to generate a strong emotional response in the reader. Obviously I look forward to the next addition in this series.
