A Talent to Deceive: Who Really Killed the Lindberg Baby?

The kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's infant son, and the subsequent trial and execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, have been a source of fascination for more than 70 years. Now, for the first time, William Norris delves into sources of information ignored by previous investigators and comes up with the identity of the true culprit. Lindbergh is exposed as having obstructed the investigation and lied on oath in order to secure the conviction of Hauptmann. His motive: to avoid the public scandal which would break if Dwight Jr, his brother in law and scion of one of America's most wealthy and prestigious families, were to come under investigation. Charles Lindbergh, now known to have been the father of seven illegitimate children, is exposed as a great deceiver who was guilty of being the instigator of judicial murder. It is time the story was told.
