True crime author Corey Mitchell is about to launch what will be the mother of all true crime blogs and a daily must read for true crime fans. 
Mitchell has corralled 31 people he calls "the most important and influential people in the field of true crime" to blog together on In Cold Blog, which will launch this Friday, June 1.
