Some criminals become household names, while others–even those who seek recognition through their crimes-are forgotten. The criminal’s actions are only a part of every famous true crime story. Other factors, such as the setting and circumstances of the crimes and the ways in which others take control of the narrative, ultimately drive their notoriety. Through a comparison of the tellings and retellings of two famous cases more than a century apart-the Jack the Ripper killings in 1888, and the murder trials of Steven Avery as documented in Making a Murderer-this book examines the complicated dynamics of criminal celebrity.
