Publisher's Synopsis
Spine-Chilling Murders in the Quad-Cities uncovers a forgotten world of bloodshed and betrayal-real murders ripped from yellowed headlines and buried town secrets across Iowa and Illinois.
In Davenport, a woman shoots her husband dead in an oyster bar.
On Brown Street, a man takes up an axe against his best friend.
A priest-killer walks free for nearly a decade.
A lover hurls a woman's body from a frozen bridge-while she's still alive.
These are the stories the history books skipped-murders sparked by jealousy, rage, and desperation, committed in alleys, bars, rail yards, and quiet homes. From Black Hand assassins to brutal family slayings, this collection brings the Quad-Cities' darkest moments screaming back to life.
Crack it open-if you dare.
Just don't read it alone
