  At once horrifying and fascinating, The Crime Archive is a gripping foray into the criminal underworld of civilization. Detailing a variety of offences from serial killings to drugs smuggling, The Crime Archive is a rogues' gallery of murderers, hitmen, gang leaders and kidnappers. The Crime Archive includes facsimiles of documents that led to the capture and conviction of these criminals, making the book not just a catalogue of gruesome and shocking crimes, but a record of the growing skill and refined methods of the police and judicial system that have successfully brought them to justice. Removable memorabilia includes: a love letter written by Thomas Cressman to Jane Andrews; the last petrol receipt purchased by English tourist Peter Falconio before he was murdered by Bradley Murdoch; a death certificate for Kathleen Grundy signed by Harold Shipman; and, two letters from Canadian serial killer Robert Pickton.
