Eric Ambler 
Ability to Kill [EPUB ebook] 

Підтримка
The renowned thriller author turns his attention to true crime-while also taking shots at spies, Hollywood writers, and other subjects-in this collection of essays.Known for timeless thrillers including Epitaph for a Spy and Journey into Fear, Eric Ambler was a keen observer of rogues and rule-breakers of all kinds. In The Ability to Kill, he delves into some of the most intriguing and disturbing criminal cases of the last few hundred years. These include nineteenth-century Edinburgh’s Burke and Hare, who supplied a medical school with ill-gotten cadavers; Victorian London’s infamous Jack the Ripper; the Frenchman Henri Desire Landru, an early twentieth-century serial killer; and the Californian doctor Bernard Finch and his lover Carole Tregoff, who conspired to murder his wife in 1961. Rounding out the collection are a few pieces on lighter topics such as spies and how to spot them, and novelists in Hollywood. Though his subjects are often grim, Ambler’s deft touch makes this examination of homicide and other matters a pure pleasure to read.
