{"product_id":"austin-murder-mayhem-richard-zelade-9781540213396","title":"Austin Murder \u0026 Mayhem","description":"\"Beneath Austin's shiny veneer lies a dark past, filled with murder, lechery and deceit. Legislators, lawmen and lawyers killed, robbed and lied just as well and just as often as the drifters and grifters preying on newcomers. The nation's first known serial killer made his debut in Austin in the form of the Servant Girl Annihilator, who is still rumored to be Jack the Ripper. After the Willis brothers murdered their neighbors over rumored buried gold, a lynch mob hanged the boys from live oaks on present-day Sixth Street. Freshman representative Louis Franke died after he was robbed and beaten on the steps of the statehouse. Author Richard Zelade delivers a fascinating look at the seedier side of Austin history\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Zelade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540213390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540213396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Richard Zelade","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938201370879,"sku":"9781540213396","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5d9d4e54-87fe-4a6e-8324-0cac569e44f7.jpg?v=1681434337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/austin-murder-mayhem-richard-zelade-9781540213396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
