Small Town Murder In Knox County Indiana

The naive, happy innocence of a child before it is ripped away. That is what the killers profiled in this book have stolen from their victims. Their youth, their innocence, any happiness and normalcy associated with growing up in a world they thought they'd be safe in. True crime isn't only about serial killers and rapists and pedophiles and organized crime. It is also about the victims left behind to serve their own life sentence, often times without anyone to help them make it through the awful ordeal. The Midwest, and Indiana in particular, are, it turns out, a veritable hotbed of killer activity. Some people may find this surprising, given the lengths to which people in the Midwest go to be, or at least to appear, to be friendly and morally upright. But to anyone, such as myself, who has spent any real time in the Midwest, it is obvious that beneath the veneer of friendliness and piety there is a coldness-and Arctic coldness: the same coldness that lies in the depths of a serial killer's heart. Enter the world of...SMALL TOWN MURDER.
