✦ Synopsis

History’s pages are stained with blood.
Beginning with the chronicle of Cain, our annals are a calendar of crime, in which Death takes no holiday.
Lawlessness has always been the stuff of legends and of life itself. No wonder that when fable and folklore were replaced by modern fiction, such sagas of skullduggery endured.
