From award winning criminologist R. Barri
Flowers and the bestselling author of THE PICKAXE KILLERS and THE SEX SLAVE
MURDERS, comes a powerful new historical true crime short, MURDER AT THE PENCIL
FACTORY: The Killing of Mary Phagan 100 Years Later.
On the afternoon of April 26, 1913,
thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan arrived at the National Pencil Factory in
Atlanta, Georgia, where she worked, to pick up her paycheck.
The next day, Mary’s bloody, battered, and
bruised dead body was found in the basement of the pencil factory, the victim of
foul play.
The Jewish-American
factory superintendent Leo Frank was arrested,
tried, and convicted for the murder in a controversial trial. Frank himself
became the victim of a lynch mob, when they broke him out of prison and hung
him from a tree.
But was Leo Frank truly guilty of Mary
Phagan’s violent death? Or did the real
killer get away with cold-blooded murder? Read this compelling tale of child
murder, anti-Semitism,
racism, and legal twists and turns that rival any true crime case today and decide for yourself.
Included is a complete and riveting bonus
story from the bestselling true crime book, SERIAL KILLER COUPLES, by R. Barri
Flowers, in which ruthless killers Alvin and Judith Neelley abducted
thirteen-year-old Lisa Millican from a mall in Rome, Georgia, and sexually
violated, tortured, and murdered her.
An added bonus is an excerpt from the
author’s bestselling true crime short, THE PICKAXE KILLERS: Karla Faye Tucker
and Daniel Garrett, who brutally murdered two people in a death penalty crime
that shocked the nation.
