Criminals: True Crime Stories about Jesse James, Lucky Luciano, the Yakuza, and the Zodiac Killer

This book consists of three biographies:

Jesse James - Jesse Woodson James is an iconic figure in American history, often romanticized as a daring bank and train robber, a guerrilla fighter, and the notorious leader of the James–Younger Gang. Born on September 5, 1847, in Clay County, Missouri, Jesse grew up in a region known as "Little Dixie," where the culture and values were deeply rooted in Southern traditions. This upbringing played a significant role in shaping his identity and allegiances throughout his life.

Lucky Luciano - Charles "Lucky" Luciano, originally born Salvatore Lucania, was a notorious Italian-American gangster who played a pivotal role in shaping the structure of organized crime in the United States. His rise to infamy began with his involvement in the Five Points gang, a prominent criminal group in New York City in the early 20th century. As Luciano climbed the criminal hierarchy, he became instrumental in forming the National Crime Syndicate, a coalition of mafia organizations across the U.S.

The Yakuza - The Yakuza were members of large-scale organized criminal syndicates based in Japan, known for their deeply entrenched criminal activities and distinctive cultural identity. Officially referred to as "violent organizations" at the request of Japanese authorities, the Yakuza bear similarities to gangsters or mafia members in the West.

The Zodiac Killer - The Zodiac Killer remains one of the most infamous and elusive criminals in American history, a figure who cast a shadow of fear over Northern California in the late 1960s. This unidentified serial killer left a trail of violence and mystery, baffling law enforcement and becoming a notorious fixture in popular culture. To this day, the Zodiac's true identity remains unknown, fueling endless speculation, theories, and attempts by amateur sleuths to solve the mystery.
