Butcher''s Work: True Crime Tales of American Murder and Madness
English
By (author): Harold Schechter
A Civil War veteran who perpetrated one of the most ghastly mass slaughters in the annals of U.S. crime. A nineteenth-century female serial killer whose victims included three husbands and six of her own children. A Gilded Age Bluebeard who did away with as many as fifty wives throughout the country. A decorated World War I hero who orchestrated a murder that stunned Jazz Age America. While other infamous homicides from the same erasthe Lizzie Borden slayings, for example, or the thrill killing committed by Leopold and Loebhave entered into our cultural mythology, these four equally sensational crimes have largely faded from public memory. A quartet of gripping historical true-crime narratives, Butchers Work restores these once-notorious cases to vivid, dramatic life.
