About the book \;
\nIn 1924\, ei ghteen-year-old college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb made a de cision: they would commit the perfect crime by kidnapping and murdering a child they both knew. But they made one crucial error: as they were dispos ing of the body of young Bobby Franks\, whom they had bludgeoned to death\ , Nathan&rsquo\;s eyeglasses fell from his jacket pocket.
\nMulti-aw ard-winning author Candace Fleming depicts every twist and turn of this ha rrowing case&ndash\;how two wealthy\, brilliant young men planned and comm itted what became known as the crime of the century\, how they were caught \, why they confessed\, and how the renowned criminal defense attorney Cla rence Darrow enabled them to avoid the death penalty.
\nFollowing on the success of such books as \;The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh \;and \;The Family Romanov\, this acclaimed nonfiction writer bri ngs to heart-stopping life one of the most notorious crimes in our country &rsquo\;s history.
