Charles Dickens, Hunted Down
Charles John Huffam Dickens (February 7th, 1812–June 9th, 1870) He was an English novelist and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.
"Hunted Down is the story of a mysterious man named Julius Slinkton who enters the life of Mr. Sampson, the manager of a life assurance office. A remarkably well-spoken chap, insinuating refined manners, Slinkton initially seems to be the consummate gentleman. However, as Slinkton crops up more and more frequently in Sampson's life, the astute Sampson realises that looks are often deceiving and learns that a monstrous crime is about to be committed."

Evelyn McHale: Deaths that Shocked the World
Evelyn Francis McHale was an American bookkeeper who jumped to her death from the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building in 1947. A photography student took a picture of her corpse as it lay on top of a crushed car.
Her death was morbidly described by Time Magazine as 'The Most Beautiful Suicide' due to the tranquil way Evelyn's body seemed to lay peacefully atop of the car she landed on.
