Synopsis

Dive into the shadowy corners of a tumultuous decade where crime reigned supreme and sensationalism ruled the headlines: the dark and gritty world of the 1910s.

In Heinous: Forgotten Murders From the 1910s, journey back to a time when forensics was in its infancy, police departments cast a wide net over "idiots and morons" and journalists played detective. It also was a decade when experts blamed crime on everything from immigration to lax parenting.

This compelling true-crime collection unearths 17 chilling tales of murder and mysterious deaths that will haunt your thoughts long after you turn the last page.

The people you'll meet include Hans Schmidt, a priest who believed his crime was divinely inspired; Russell Pethrick, a grocery delivery boy whose fate hinges on the revolutionary science of fingerprint analysis; Thomas Fitzgerald, a pedophile who enjoyed showing little girls "pretty" pictures of dead people; and Nathan Swartz, whose desperate flight from the law left his family grappling with shame.

As an enticing bonus, delve into the enduring mystery surrounding Dorothy Arnold, a glamorous socialite whose baffling disappearance captivated the nation and remains unsolved to this day.

With richly detailed narratives and a keen eye for the cultural dynamics of the era, Heinous is a haunting journey through forgotten headlines and unsolved mysteries, perfect for true crime enthusiasts eager to explore the roots of modern criminal investigation and sensational storytelling.
