Summary
From France and England to Canada and the United States, Engel explores more than twenty-five classic, infamous and still unresolved cases of passion and murder. As he discovers, le crime passionnel, a concept originating in France, has a special place… in many legal codes around the world. Someone who has suddenly or unexpectedly been betrayed by a loved and trusted partner, even in an illicit relationship, is rarely treated as a common murderer. 2001.
