An Actual Report of a Book – A Dark and Bloody Ground

A Dark and Bloody Ground By: Darcy O’Brien
Non-fiction, true crime 333 pages 11th grade reading level
Copyright 1993

This book is the story of the life of a criminal. It largely centers on a crime spree that including thief, murder, money laundering, drugs, and running from the law. The writer actually got their information from the people involved (cops, lawyers, even the criminals). This caused the story to read like a novel. At times we needed to double check that it was non-fiction as it went into the thoughts and feelings of the people involved. This book is something that anyone who likes to watch crime shows may enjoy.
