{"product_id":"butchers-work-harold-schechter-9781609388539","title":"Butcher's Work: True Crime Tales of American Murder and Madness","description":"A Civil War veteran who perpetrated one of the most ghastly mass slaughters in the annals of U.S. crime. A nineteenth-century female serial killer whose victims included three husbands and six of her own children. A Gilded Age \"Bluebeard\" who did away with as many as fifty wives throughout the country. A decorated World War I hero who orchestrated a murder that stunned Jazz Age America. While other infamous homicides from the same eras--the Lizzie Borden slayings, for example, or the \"thrill killing\" committed by Leopold and Loeb--have entered into our cultural mythology, these four equally sensational crimes have largely faded from public memory. A quartet of gripping historical true-crime narratives, \u003ci\u003eButcher's Work\u003c\/i\u003e restores these once-notorious cases to vivid, dramatic life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Schechter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609388534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609388539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.70w x 1.20d","brand":"Harold Schechter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073029927167,"sku":"9781609388539","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd0d9b0e-9f96-46df-a408-aba6c7abc968.jpg?v=1685445386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/butchers-work-harold-schechter-9781609388539","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
