Publisher's Synopsis
Spine-Chilling Murders in Des Moines unearths the city's most gruesome and long-forgotten crimes-real murders pulled from the brittle pages of century-old newspapers, too dark for the history books and too twisted to forget.
Jealous lovers. Axe-wielding madmen. Child killers. Gangsters and gunmen who turned quiet neighborhoods into killing fields.
These are the cases that once gripped Des Moines in fear-murders whispered about in alleys, printed in bold ink, and then buried for generations.
You've never seen Iowa like this.
Open the book-if you've got the nerve.
Read them if you dare.
