{"product_id":"murder-in-the-stacks-david-dekok-9780762780877","title":"Murder in the Stacks: Penn State, Betsy Aardsma, and the Killer Who Got Away","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn Nov. 28, 1969, Betsy Aardsma, a 22-year-old graduate student in English at Penn State, was stabbed to death in the stacks of Pattee Library at the university's main campus in State College. For more than forty years, her murder went unsolved, though detectives with the Pennsylvania State Police and local citizens worked tirelessly to find her killer. The mystery was eventually solved--after the death of the murderer. This book will reveal the story behind what has been a scary mystery for generations of Penn State students and explain why the Pennsylvania State Police failed to bring her killer to justice. More than a simple true crime story, the book weaves together the events, culture, and attitudes of the late 1960s, memorializing Betsy Aardsma and her time and place in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Dekok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0762780878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780762780877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2014 pg. 107","brand":"David Dekok","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047469379839,"sku":"9780762780877","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4832274-b555-479d-a874-6c68d5f827ac.jpg?v=1684990390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-in-the-stacks-david-dekok-9780762780877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
