Summary

Washington D.C. did not receive nicknames such as the District of Crime or Murder Capital of America for no reason. Though the capital city's motto is "justice for all," D.C. has a darker side, including an extensive history of fugitives from the law and injustice against the innocent. The Cri me Buff's Guide to Outlaw Washington D.C.is the ultimate guidebook to the criminal and seedy history of the nation's capital. With photographs, maps, directions, and sites to visit, this collection of outlaw tales serves as both a travel guide and an entertaining and informational read. It is a one-of-a-kind exploration into well-known and more obsure sites in D.C. that retain memories of bandits and their scandalous deeds.
