Tour the Upper Midwest to explore the blood-soaked halls of hideous history through twenty dark and demented stories from the corridors of criminal infamy. This expose of true crime examines a historical roster of the bad and
the brutal: from old-time con men and gunslingers, to hardcore serial
killers of the modern era. Meet the redoubtable Ed Gein; the haunting and harrowing Honeymoon Killers, Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck; the "Gruesome Gal of the Western Plains," Calamity Jane; Wild Bill Hickok; serial sex killer John Norman Collins; Al Capone; Carl Panzram; Larry Eyler; Gwendolyn Graham; George Lester (Babyface Nelsen); John Dillinger; and Frank Gilmer—villains that will leave you infuriated and intrigued at their infernal notoriety. Join the author on a round-up of the rotten as you take a thrill-ride of historic significance in a world gone mad.
