MR. SPOONER'S IN THE WELL And Other Massachusetts Mysteries

Softcover. This book is the first of a six-volume true crime series, one book for each New England state. These true crimes have been carefully selected for their legal or medical precedents, outstanding detective work, and for their freshness. Here are a dozen gripping, true mysteries for you to solve along with the investigators who worked on them. Murder most foul is the order of the day; justice always triumphs, but it requires hard work and insightful thinking on the part of the crime busters. The cases range from Boston to Springfield, from 1778 to 1942, and from a bicycle bandit to a bus hijacking. Along the way, you'll meet Gert Swasey, Circus Queen, investigate the horrific Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire that killed 500 people. You'll find victims in a well, on a marsh, and almost everywhere else. 201pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
