Overview: From the files and pen of world renowned true crime writer Alan Hynd (1903 – 1974) ( father of Noel Hynd) comes a deliciously dark sampling of some of the most fascinating true murder cases of the first half of the 20th Century. These stories, the three short collections, are unified by a single theme: they all involve physicians. And not for the autopsy, but as perpetrators or accused perpetrators. You may never see your family care giver again in the same light… Told in the characteristic wry, anecdotal reportorial style that made Alan Hynd famous in his day (two wartime best sellers in 1943, contributions to The Reader’s Digest, Colliers, Coronet, The Saturday Evening Post, True, Liberty, The American Mercury and almost every true detective magazine in print) these tales will have you cringing one minute, laughing the next, and gasping in shock a moment later.

Prescription: Murder! Volume 1: Authentic Cases From the Files of Alan Hynd
These stories, the first of three short collections, are unified by a single theme: they all involve physicians. And not for the autopsy, but as perpetrators or accused perpetrators. You may never see your family care giver again in the same light.
Told in the characteristic wry, anecdotal reportorial style that made Alan Hynd famous in his day (two wartime best sellers in 1943, contributions to The Reader’s Digest, Colliers, Coronet, The Saturday Evening Post, True, Liberty, The American Mercury and almost every true detective magazine in print) these tales will have you cringing one minute, laughing the next, and gasping in shock a moment later. Truly, no one could make up classics like these. Take for example, the murder ring of South Philadelphia in which a faith healer and two Lotharios helped restless wives rid themselves of abusive unwanted husbands…or the respected French war hero who was a pillar of the community by day but prowled brothels and music halls by night and was caught with a cadaver sealed within the walls of his home….or the traveling physician who married a farmer’s ex-wife and had four step-sons, then three, then two, then……
And finally, as a bonus track, relax and savor the wickedly evil doings of "Sister Amy Archer" at the Archer convalescent home in Connecticut, where old folks checked out just a little too quickly for comfort. The events eventually became the basis of "Arsenic and Old Lace," the hit play and iconic movie.
As the old adages go, you couldn’t make this stuff up… and true crime is always farther out there than fiction.
Prescription: Murder! Volume 2: Authentic Cases From the Files of Alan Hynd
This is the second volume of classic true murder stories from the files and pen of world renowned true crime writer Alan Hynd (1903 – 1974). So get ready for another deliciously dark sampling of some of the most fascinating true murder cases of the first half of the 20th Century. These stories, the SECOND of three short collections, are unified by a single theme: they all involve physicians. And not for the autopsy, but as perpetrators or accused perpetrators. You may never see your family care giver again in the same light.

Truly, no one could make up classics like these. Take for example, the case of the story of the chiropractor who dismembered one special patient, the notorious Dr. Petiot during World War Two, who promised people a trip out the country and possibly even farther, and the Great Swope poison case, where a man’s in-laws just couldn’t wait for their inheritance. As a bonus, consider "Pretty: Louie Amberg, the Brooklyn, N.Y., psychopath of the 1920s and ’30s, as well as an unusual couple in Southern California kept the neighbors up at night — and gossiping.
True crime is always more macabre than any novelist could imagine. So sit back and enjoy these forays into some of the darkest aspects of human nature.
