Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

On a March morning in 1883, a widow and her daughter were killed on their farm fourteen miles northwest of Indianapolis. A reward was posted, detectives came out from the city, and suspects were named, held, and released. No one was ever convicted.Drawing on decades of newspaper reporting, coroner's testimony, court files, and original genealogical research, Tiffany Perdue reconstructs what can be known about the deaths of Elizabeth and Lucinda Foreman, and sets the crime inside the ordinary working life of the immigrant families who settled the Boone, Hendricks, and Marion county line. This is not a book that solves a murder. It is an account of lives lived and lost in a much different time.
