The Professor And The Prostitute: And Other True Tales Of Murder And Madness (1986)

About book The Professor And The Prostitute: And Other True Tales Of Murder And Madness (1986)

This is a book that doesn't quite stand the test of time. Yes, it's a true crime book, but it also includes stories about people who have turned to drugs or had a psychotic break. The last story in the book was a manslaughter case about a guy who killed a man because he dented his car (not your typical true crime case that is usually profiled--this story wouldn't even make the front page news). Depression is referred to as Hysteria and the author refers to people given electroshock treatment for it, not Prozac. Also the author stereotypes the LGBTQ population as "histrionic." The first story in the book is about a deadly relationship between a professor and a prostitute and is, in my opinion, the best story of the bunch. Ditch the rest.
