About this ebook
The Search for the Real Killer of the Lindbergh Baby
For almost 90 years, the Lindbergh Kidnapping has been a major topic of controversy and fascination in history. After a six-week trial, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was named the ultimate culprit of the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh’s infant son. Hauptmann pleaded that he wasn’t guilty until the day he was executed. Since that trial, there have been many theories concluding that Hauptmann was innocent.
A Talent to Deceive is the book that solves a mystery through investigative journalism. William Norris dives into evidence ignored by previous investigators in search of the truth. Who really did it? What happened that night of March 1, 1932? What was the motive to kidnap and murder this baby?
Follow Norris in history-meets-mystery as he does a thorough investigation to solve The Case That Will Never Die.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As I originally mentioned (about halfway through), I never realised just how deceptive and obstructive Lindbergh and his in-laws (the Morrows) actually were throughout this drama. The whole train of events after the discovery of the missing child (including the investigation and trial) were almost (and horribly) farcical - and for Hauptmann - the alleged kidnapper and murderer - tragically so.For those wanting to gain a different insight into this "crime of the century" and read about an alternate perpetrator, this is definitely for you. Norris provides enough background information for the reader that prior indepth knowledge is not essential.I enjoyed this enough to want to give it 3.5 stars
