A selection of true crime literature has recently gained attention for its unique and gripping narratives. Among the highlighted titles is "Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America's Woods" by John Edgar Wideman, which explores the illicit activities surrounding the theft of trees.

Other notable works include "The Spy Who Couldn't Spell: A Dyslexic Traitor, an Unbreakable Code, and the FBI's Hunt for America's Stolen Secrets," which details the story of a traitor who struggled with dyslexia. "The Red Widow" and "The Feather Thief" also provide intriguing insights into criminal cases and the obsession surrounding the feather trade.
