The Double Indemnity Murder: Ruth Snyder, Judd Gray, and New York's Crime of the CenturyFew incidents in crime history have been as notorious yet mundane as the 1927 murder of Queens suburbanite Albert Snyder by his wife and her lover. Resonant of the foot loose Jazz Age, it made persistent headlines, led to a sensational trial, spawned a 1920s Broadway play, and two classic film noirs of the 1940s: Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice.

Few incidents in crime history have been as notorious - yet mundane - as the 1927 murder of Queens suburbanite Albert Snyder by his wife and her lover. Resonant of the foot-loose Jazz Age, it made persistent headlines, led to a sensational trial, spawned a 1920s Broadway play, and two classic film noirs of the 1940s: Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice. This book assesses the entire case, from grisly slaying and shabby cover-up to sharp police work and aftermath. Moreover, it explores sociocultural questions that beg to be answered: what effect does news reportage exert upon high profile cases, and why did such a transparent crime earn such an enduring place in the popular psyche. Landis MacKellar lives in Vienna and Paris. His interest in the Snyder-Gray murder began when he taught in Queens College in New York City.Binding Type: Paperback

Not effective as a cleaner
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Fresh
If you’re looking for a cleaner, this ain’t it. It’s about as effective as water on plastic.
