Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Twenty-four years prior to Emmit Till, the Hawaiian islands was home to one of the most controversial racial trials in American history. Thalia Massie was found one late summer night in Honolulu wandering the streets. She was disheveled, beaten and battered. Claiming she was raped by a 'gang of Hawaiians', the local police gathered a group of men whom they thought were most likely to be capable of such a crime. During the ensuing trial, the men were released as the jury could not come to a conclusion. But Thalia's mother, Grace Fortescue, had other ideas. She would not allow the soiling of her daughter to go unpunished. Taking the law into her own hands, she decided to hunt the men down one by one. But was Thalia telling the whole truth. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rebecca Fincham Davis met Gary Lee Davis while he was locked up behind the bars. She knew he was a very dangerous individual and that was part of his appeal. However, she allowed him to come into her life and change it completely. Their relationship and marriage was certainly an odd one because Gary Lee Davis didn't escalate to killing someone before they started seeing each other. Something in Rebecca made him push his limits even further. Perhaps it was his own sexual frustration or Rebecca herself.

All we know is that a young woman was viciously killed by this violent couple.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - New Orleans has always managed to create a mix of the mysterious and the macabre in our minds. As a city, it is different; its jazz, its location and openness to the elements, its cosmopolitan community. At the turn of the last century, the French influence was still strong. A quarter of the population spoke the Gallic language, and French newspapers were still popular. But these Northern Europeans were not the only significant immigrant group to reside there.In 1915, Atlantic storms blew into the vulnerable city, and floods threatened lives and buildings. But still the city stood, tall and firm, against all that nature could throw against it. Yet if it could withstand the onslaught of the natural world, the same was not necessarily true of the human one.Back in 1910, a particularly savage crime took place, a vicious, merciless assault with an axe There is something almost primordial about such an attack. On this occasion, the victim survived, and in a city where racial tensions were rife, where child labour still flourished, the confrontation went largely unnoticed by the wider community. Then, in the early summer of 1911, another incident took place and this time the assault proved fatal. Joe Davi was, in all probability, the first man to die at the hands of the Axeman of New Orleans.…
