MURDER BY NUMBERS

摘要

Few years ago, Bill James was in a Boston hotel room, relaxing with a book about one of the city's most accomplished yet least admired sons: the Bos ton Strangler. There are numerous accounts of the killer's grisly 1960s spree-which left at least 14 women dead-and James has read a lot of them, possibly all of them. But this particular book stood out, mostly because the author's research was sloppy.
