Step back in time to a decade when crime ran rampant and justice was anything but certain.

In Heinous: Forgotten Murders From the 1910s, author Melina Druga resurrects 18 shocking, long-forgotten murder cases from the early twentieth century - stories once splashed across newspaper headlines, now buried in the archives of time. Through original newspaper accounts and painstaking research, Druga reveals a dark side of the 1910s: brutal ax murders, chilling family slayings and desperate crimes of passion that rattled small towns across North America.

Step back into an era before forensic science, when journalists doubled as detectives and sensational headlines fueled the public's fascination with crime. From the unsolved slayings of the Showman family to the mysterious disappearance of Dorothy Arnold, these true stories expose the fear, chaos, and moral contradictions of a decade caught between innocence and modernity.

Riveting, haunting, and meticulously documented, Heinous gives a voice to victims long forgotten-and reminds us that evil is never confined to one era.

Perfect for readers of Erik Larson, Harold Schechter, and historical true crime enthusiasts.
