Description
xA sad and shocking story of love betrayed
The murder of Bessie Little and the trial of her murderer rocked Victorian Dayton. Believing herself pregnant and desperate to save her reputation, young Bessie tried to force her boyfriend, Albert Frantz, to marry her quickly. Instead, he took her out for a buggy ride, shot her twice in the head and dumped her body in the river. When she was discovered, he tried to convince everyone that she committed suicide. The dramatic trial brought to light details of Bessie and Albert's secret trysts, and Albert's sanity became a point of contention.
In her third historical book about Dayton, Sara Kaushal delves into a tale of scandal and betrayal to discover the truth.
