Hudson Valley Murder and Mayhem by Andrew Amelinckx

Hudson Valley Murder and Mayhem by Andrew Amelinckx

The Hudson Valley is drenched in history, culture and blood. In the fall of 1893, Lizzie Halliday left a trail of bodies in her wake, slaughtering two strangers and her husband before stabbing a nurse to death at the asylum housing her. A Jazz Age politician, tired of fighting with his overbearing wife, murdered her and buried the body under the front porch. In 1882, a cantankerous old miner, dubbed the Austerlitz Cannibal by the press, chopped up his partner before he himself swung from the end of a rope. Author Andrew Amelinckx dredges up the Hudson Valley's dark past, from Prohibition-era shootouts to unsolved murders, in eleven heart-pounding true stories.

Andrew K.F. is a creative+ paraphrase. Amelinckx is a visual artist, freelance journalist, and award-winning crime reporter. He grew up in Louisiana and now lives with his wife, Kara, and their dog, Bingo, in the Hudson Valley of New York. He is now a contributing editor for the magazine Modern Farmer and the cofounder (with his wife) of the men's accessories brand Fellow Well Met, after nearly a decade of covering crime for several newspapers in the region. He graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a bachelor's degree in art and a master's degree in painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.
