Between Two Wars: A True Crime Collection by Cheyna Roth
The era from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of World War II was a dynamic and evolving time for murderers, thieves, gangsters and more. Train robberies, presidential assassinations, high-profile heists, and serial murders are just a selection of what occurred between the 1860s and the 1930s. Between Two Wars: A True Crime Collection includes a curated mix of both familiar and less-infamous cases. Tour through the carnage of 1880s Chicago as H.H. Holmes builds his Murder Castle. Learn about the significance of the less famous presidential assassination of the 1800s - of President James Garfield. At the turn of the century, find out why the theft of the Mona Lisa made the piece the famous work of art it is today, and discover the impact of the Black mafia with John 'Mushmouth' Johnson, the infamous 'Negro Gambling King of Chicago.' The full list of cases includes: (1866) The Reno brothers and the first train robbery in America, (1878) George Leslie, a high society bank robber, (1881) Assassination of President James Garfield, (1893) H.H. Holmes Murder Castle and the Columbian Exposition, (1890s - 1907) John 'Mushmouth' Johnson, the 'Negro Gambling King of Chicago', (1911) The theft of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, (1926) Disappearance of Agatha Christie, (1933) Kansas City Massacre, (1938) Rumrich Nazi Spy Case. Written for murderinos, true crime junkies, and history buffs, Between Two Wars reads like you're having a conversation with a friend or listening to your favorite true crime podcast.
