Dead End: The Crime Story of the Decade–Murder, Incest and High-Tech Thievery by Jeanne King
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 11.9 MB
Overview: This book documents the tangled web of criminal activity that has made up the lives of Sante Kimes and her son Kenneth. Convicted of the highly publicized murder of millionaire Irene Silverman in New York City in May 2000 and sentenced to a combined 246 years in prison, the Kimeses were extradited to Los Angeles last year and are set to stand trial in 2002 for yet another murder. Reuters journalist King successfully handles the vast amount of detail and huge cast of characters involved. From her first theft at age ten, to her conviction in 1986 of enslaving four young Mexican women, to the present, Sante Kimes’s life is nothing if not fascinatingly corrupt. Included are four appendixes. The first, excerpts from diary entries and letters between Sante and Kenneth and other family members and acquaintances during their 1998-2000 prison stay, and the last, a chronology of events from Sante’s birth in 1934 to 2001, prove to be especially insightful. This quick read is recommended for large public libraries where true crime books are popular. Sarah Jent, Univ. of Louisville
