Beskrivning
Carlton Stowers presents a thrilling, fast-paced account of 17 true crime stories gleaned from the award-winning pages of The Dallas Observer. This chillingly compelling volume accounts famed events in history such as the "Phantom Killer" of the 1940s who haunted Texarkana, to more current terrors, recounting the crazed man who opened fire in Killeen's Luby's Cafeteria in 1991. Stowers probes deep into Texas' crime files to provide an exciting glimpse into some of the Lone Star State's most infamous events.
