The case of Leopold and Loeb, two young men who murdered a child at random, is infamous. Nothing but the Night: Leopold and Loeb and the Truth Behind the Murder That Rocked 1920s America, by co-authors Greg King and Penny Wilson, is a gruesome account of the crime, but it's impossible to put down. The book exposes a love affair between the two depraved killers and details attorney Clarence Darrow's impassioned plea for mercy when they went to trial.
True crime readers should not miss this. The emphasis is much more on the psychology of these twisted murderers than on the gruesome crime itself. No one, it seems, can completely answer why they did this, but this is a well-documented deep dive into the question all of us have: Why?
