MURDERS IN MONMOUTH Capital Crimes from the Jersey Shore's Past

Softcover. Why do people kill? In the case of the young and mentally unstable Frank Zastera, the rationale was as simple as the act was brutal: he wanted William Sheppard's money. In other murders, such as the still-unsolved 1913 murder of George Harris, the motive for committing the ultimate crime remains obscured for eternity. The author assembles the who, what, when, where and why surrounding 12 high-profile killings perpetrated by various individuals in early 20th-century Monmouth County. Illus., Appendices, Bibliog. and Index. 125pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
