About this item
In the spirit of Devil in the White City, Furious Hours, and I'll Be Gone in the Dark, comes a true detective tale of the highest standard: the haunting story of Eliot Ness's forgotten final case -- his years-long hunt for "The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run," a serial killer who terrorized Cleveland through the 1936 World's Fair, and obsessed Ness to his dying breath. In 1935, the nation's most legendary crime-fighter -- the man who had just taken down the greatest gangster in American history -- arrived in Cleveland on the eve of hosting the World's Fair. It was to be his coronation, as well as the city's. Instead, terror descended, as headless bodies started washing up on shores of Lake Erie. Eliot Ness's greatest case had begun. Now, the acclaimed writing team behind Scarface and the Untouchable uncovers this lost crime epic, delivering a gripping and unforgettable nonfiction account based on their groundbreaking research.
