Hudson Valley Murder & Mayhem

By Andrew K. Amelinckx

Book Overview

The Hudson Valley's dark past, from Prohibition-era shoot-outs to unsolved murders, in eleven heart-pounding true stories.

The Hudson Valley is drenched in history, culture and blood.

In the fall of 1893, Lizzie Halliday left a trail of bodies in her wake, slaughtering two strangers and her husband before stabbing a nurse to death at the asylum housing her. A Jazz Age politician, tired of fighting with his overbearing wife, murdered her and buried the body under the front porch. In 1882, a cantankerous old miner, dubbed the Austerlitz Cannibal by the press, chopped up his partner before he himself swung from the end of a rope.

Author Andrew Amelinckx dredges up long ago crime and dire deeds, from Prohibition-era shootouts to unsolved murders, in the Hudson Valley of New York.
