MURDER AT THE BROWN PALACE A True Story of Seduction and Betrayal

Softcover. SIGNED. On May 24, 1911, one of the most notorious murders in Denver's history occurred. The tale involves high society, adultery, drugs, multiple murder, and more, all set in Denver's grand old hotel, the Brown Palace. At the centre of the storm was the seductively beautiful Denver socialite, Isabel Springer. Little did ambitious John W. Springer, wealthy Denver businessman and politician know that lovely Isabel, 20 years his junior, had been feeding the romantic fire of an out-of-town suitor at the same time that she had become cosy with a man he regarded as friend and business partner. Flirtation and romantic promises all culminated in a barroom confrontation, followed by two of the most lurid court trials in Colorado history. Illus., Notes on Sources + Bibliog. 214pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
