BUTCHER'S DOZEN. 13 Famous Michigan Murders

Softcover. In this murderous collection the author retells some of Michigan's classic cases. These stories cover almost a century of Michigan's history from the Civil War through the 1930s and were committed in Leelanau County, Midland, Traverse City, Grand Rapids, Jackson, Bath, the Thumb area, Manistee and other areas. The 'centrepiece' of the book features the case of the murder of the Felician nun at Isadore, Michigan, in 1907, with all the elements of a great murder story : mystery, suspense, surprise, and even the titillation of an illicit love affair. Each of the stories has become a kind of classic in that part of Michigan in which it took place. Illus. 151pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Nr. F.
