Trials of
the Century

– launching the Trials of the Century collection –

This December, we’re releasing our first feature-length dramatised, true crime trial – Dickie & Babe: Unnatural Lust. It covers the famous crime and court case of defendants Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. Our new audiobook will feature dramatic reenactments of thrilling moments from the trial – both defendants were under threat of execution by hanging. This true crime story is psychologically baffling – two wealthy and educated young men decided to murder a boy for the intellectual challenge; to commit ‘the perfect crime’. Author Donna Tartt took inspiration from these events when she wrote her bestseller The Secret History. Writer Patrick Hamilton and director Alfred Hitchcock drew on this true crime to create the film Rope.
