Called “the premier English investigator of crimes past,” Goodman was internationally known for his dogged research, prodigious work ethic, generous personality, and charming character. In his first non-fiction work, The Killing of Julia Wallace, he cracked an unsolved murder case from 1931. Although the assailant was not named in the first edition, Goodman went to the extent of confronting the guilty party on his doorstep. Come see primary sources related to this and other books by the author. You will also discover Goodman’s disinterest in serial killers, his brush with royalty, and his visit to Kent, Ohio. Selected scrapbooks, magazines, framed artwork, and playbills from the criminologist’s own collections are showcased as well. The exhibition was curated by Robin M. Katz who was the Gerald H. and Victoria C. T. Read Graduate Assistant in Special Collections and Archives from 2007-2009. The exhibition is located in the Special Collections Reading Room on the 12th floor of the Main Library (Kent Campus). It is free and open to the public, Monday - Friday, 1:00 - 5:00 pm. The exhibition runs from May 5 through December 1, 2009.
