This book has about 14 to 16 cases that it goes through. Not many are interesting. I think I found one to be of any real interest. There is not much back story into the criminal's history or motives. The book is filled with a lot of grammar errors, which shocked me. You would think this book was self-published, but it was published by an agency. The one thing I learned from reading this book is if you're in Alaska don't take taxis, they seem to be filled with killers.

Use this with any investigation especially the LeMaire chapter how it describes in full detail of autopsy. It also gave insight in the Anchorage Cab industry in the 1970's how they use to do John deliveries.
