THE TANGLED WEB The Murder of Cad Bates An Historic True Crime Mystery

Hardback. The murder of Cad Bates was one of the first major cases for the Wisconsin Crime Laboratory. Four years later, the crime lab would process the gruesome scene at Ed Gein's farm.

Twenty years later, the conviction was overturned by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The author gives the reader an inside view of the prosecution of this historic case. In a no-holds-barred account, we enter the mind of the prosecutor, mulling with him over each decision, large and small. Illus. + Epilogue and Index. 274pp. 8vo. h/back.
