True crime with a Midwest twist. The award-winning writer recounts the stories of Ohio’s most notorious vixens, viragoes, and villainesses. The Buckeye State produced its share of wicked women. Tenacious madam Clara Palmer contended with constant police raids during the 1880s and ’90s. Only her death could shut the doors of her gilded bordello in Cleveland. Failed actress Mildred Gillars left for Europe right before World War II. Because she fell in love with the wrong man, she wound up peddling Nazi propaganda on the radio as “Axis Sally.” Volatile Hester Foster was already doing time at the Ohio State Penitentiary when she bashed in the head of a fellow inmate with a shovel. The sinister Anna Marie Hahn dosed at least five elderly Cincinnati men with arsenic and croton oil and then watched them die in agony while pretending to nurse them back to health.Ver libro
National bestselling and award-winning author M. William Phelps-star of Investigation Discovery's smash-hit TV series Dark Minds-updates his classic work of true crime in which psychological drama, passion, and murder collide in a powerful audiobook with special appeal to women listeners. In the postcard-pretty town of Pleasant Valley, New York, Susan Fassett left choir practice at her church-and was gunned down in the parking lot. An entire town reeled in shock.

William Phelps brings new dimension to shocking real-life drama of secrets, lies, and murder.Ver libro

Cop shows have been a staple of the media almost from the beginning. These fictional accounts created the easy to understand the formula of ‘ ’diabolical crime plus brilliant detective equals the sometimes not-so-obvious solution’’. But in the early years of the 1950s something radically different came along. 21st precinct was a very dramatic police drama and based on the workings of a true life Police Department, described in the program as ‘’just lines on a map of the city of New York, most of the 173,000 people wedged into the nine-tenths of a square mile between 5th Ave and the East River wouldn't know if you ask them they lived or worked in the 21st. Whether they know it or not, the security of their persons, their homes, and their property is the job of the men of the 21st.’’ From the opening phone call the listener is right in the middle of the drama.

The 21st’s manpower was made up of 160 patrolmen, eleven sergeants, and four lieutenants, under the command of one captain - Frank Kennelly, played by Everett Sloane, who was also the show’s narrator. He’s about to take that call….Ver libro
