Murderous Acts
2021
Overview
While the Midwest may be known for salt-of-the-earth
folks, it's also home to murder and mayhem.
In Murderous Acts: 100 Years of Crime in the Midwest ,
Keven McQueen explores a century of true crimes committed in 10
Midwestern states, from the 1840s to the 1940s. With a touch of
gallows humor, McQueen relies on original research to recount
infamous transgressions-including Michigan's Robert Irving Latimer
case, the serial murders of Nebraskan Jake Bird, and the bloody
deeds of Kansas's Bender family-as well as gruesome tales that are
less well known, such as the Wisconsin man with a penchant for
swinging an axe at the necks of men he didn't care for, the Hoosier
who killed his sweetheart in the midst of a Halloween ball, and the
French nobleman who wreaked havoc in a St. Louis hotel.
Murderous Acts will intrigue and delight fans of true crime and
will send a shiver down the spine of any reader fascinated by the
dark history of America's Heartland.
