The other four cases Pearson retells are \"The Twenty-Third Street Murder,\" about the killing of New York financier Benjamin Nathan in July 1870; \"Mate Bram \" about the double murder of a ship captain and his wife in 1896; \"The Hunting Knife,\" about the murder of Miss Mabel Page in 1904; and \"Uncle Amos Dreams a Dream,\" about the 1819 trial of Stephen and Jesse Boorn for the murder of their brother-in-law in Manchester, Vermont.\u003cbr\u003e Pearson carefully researched these cases and interviewed people connected with each one. His accounts are admirably detailed, clear, and engaging. In all five cases, the determination of guilt or innocence rested on circumstantial evidence, which left unanswered questions still capable of intriguing the contemporary reader. Roger Lane's lively introduction provides information about Pearson and the genre of true crime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund Lester Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081425022X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814250228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.35w x 1.01d","brand":"Edmund Lester Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059835039999,"sku":"9780814250228","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78a9dfed-4f74-4381-b7fb-f9efb730c105.jpg?v=1685060597","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/studies-in-murder-edmund-lester-pearson-9780814250228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
