Innocent Blood: A True Story of Obsession and Serial Murder

Terry Ganey. St. Martin's Press, $4.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-312-92269-6

Originally titled St. Joseph's Children: A True Story of Terror and Justice , PW judged this an ``engaging, instructive true-crime study.'' St. Louis Dispatch reporter Ganey writes of the mistaken arrest for murder of Melvin Reynolds, who was convicted of the 1978 murder of four-year-old Eric Christgen. Four years later Charles Hatcher confessed to 16 murders, including that of Christgen. (July)
