Goodman, Jonathan, N.D.

Jonathan Walter Goodman was born on Jan. 17,1931 and raised in Wimbledon in southwest London. He was once called "the greatest living master of true-crime literature," but his interests went far beyond the murders he helped to make famous. He was a stage manager and producer in London's West End theater district before turning his talents to writing. He published almost 40 books in his lifetime - complete murder accounts, anthologies, the Celebrated Trials series, fiction, and poetry.
