{"product_id":"murder-in-the-garden-scott-morrison-9780941936996","title":"Murder in the Garden: Famous Crimes of Early Fresno County","description":"Presenting 15 famous cases from Fresno, California, set in the first part of the 20th century, a long-time detective in the sheriff's office introduces key figures such as a bootlegger, an unfortunate local dubbed Alligator Jack, and a perpetrator known as the Fig Garden Fiend. Featuring local landmarks such as Mussel Slough--the setting for Frank Norris's \"\"The Octopus--\"\"and offering additional commentary that compares these sensational past cases to current high-profile criminal cases. A consideration of the changing face of crime, this history reveals a modern upswing in child abuse, multiple murders, and kidnapping cases and highlights the extended nature of the current legal process as compared to the open-and-shut character of the early 1900s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Morrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0941936996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780941936996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Craven Street Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.08w x 0.43d","brand":"Scott Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926853714175,"sku":"9780941936996","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7d75496f-585e-4e5a-8f03-5622ae20389b.jpg?v=1681085381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-in-the-garden-scott-morrison-9780941936996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
