Since he first began publishing his Baseball Abstracts in the 1980s, Bill James
has constantly challenged conventional wisdom by asking simple questions
like, “Is that really true?” or “What if we looked at the question this way?” He
has sparked a virtual revolution in the way the game of baseball is understood
and played, from how players are evaluated or positioned to whether or not
they should attempt to bunt or steal a base. In Solid Fool’s Gold James is still asking questions.

Celebrated writer and contrarian Bill James has voraciously read true crime throughout his life and has been interested in writing a book on the topic for decades. Now, with Popular Crime, James takes readers on an epic journey through the subject, from Lizzie Borden to the Lindbergh Baby, from the Black Dahlia to O.J. Simpson, explaining how crimes have been committed, investigated, prosecuted, and chronicled, and how that has profoundly influenced our culture over the last few centuries— even if we haven’t always taken notice.
