In 1915,
an upstate New York farmer and his housekeeper were beaten and shot to
death in their home. It was an appalling crime and few shed any tears when
the murdered man's hired hand, Charles Stielow, was condemned
to the electric chair. But while Stielow was on death row, doubts began to emerge about his conviction. Troubled officials at Sing Sing relayed their concerns to America's greatest female detective, Grace Humiston, who would spearhead the fight to save Stielow's life. What Grace uncovered was horrifying: forced confessions, jailhouse brutality, threats of lynching, fabricated evidence and the crooked testimony of a so-called expert witness who swore that Stielow's revolver was 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!
