Books written by journalists and news people tend to be some of the most interesting. These people are often on the front lines experiencing the stories you read in the paper and see on the news, as part of their real life. They can get close to the action, get to know the players intimately, and uncover aspects to stories like no one else. They can even come face-to-face with a serial killer and live to tell about it.
