In 1915, an upstate New York farmer and his housekeeper are beaten and shot to death in their home. It's an appalling crime and few shed any tears when the murdered man's hired hand, Charles Stielow, is condemned to the electric chair.

But while Stielow languishes on death row, doubts began to emerge about his conviction. Troubled officials at Sing Sing relay their concerns to America's greatest female detective, Grace Humiston, who spearheads the fight to save Stielow's life.

What Grace uncovers is horrifying: forced confessions, jailhouse brutality, threats of lynching, fabricated evidence and the crooked testimony of a so-called expert witness who swears that Stielow's revolver is the murder weapon.

It's a nail-biting story guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat as Grace and her team fight to keep Stielow out of the electric chair. In time, Stielow's dreadful ordeal would shock a nation and lead directly to the birth of modern ballistics. SLAUGHTER ON A SNOWY MORN is the first full account of this landmark case. You won't want to miss it!
