INDIANA GOTHIC A True Story of Love, Betrayal and Murder in the American Midwest

Softcover. The author grew up ignorant of his family's most closely guarded secret. It was only when his great-aunt was dying that he learned the true circumstances surrounding the dramatic death of his great-grandfather. Intrigued, he travelled to Daviess County, Indiana, to trace the footsteps of the past and discover more about his family's buried history. This book is the extraordinary result - a sweeping story that reads like fiction, of two married sisters living in a poor, pious, isolated farming community in the American midwest at the turn of the 20th century. Bored, beautiful Allie falls in love with her sister Maggie's charismatic husband, Ham Dillon, and a reckless and passionate affair ensues. Encompassing adultery, scandal, bitter sibling rivalry and a sensational murder trial, this is a haunting love story that echoes across the generations. 372pp. trade size softcover.
