Book Reviews of In the Wake of the Butcher : Cleveland's Torso Murders (Ohio)
Book Review: A TRUE Horror Story
Summary: 5 Stars
If you live in or near Cleveland you will be suprised at how many people have never heard of one of the earliest and most grizzly serial killers out there. Unlike Jack the Ripper, he killed men and women equally. Not only did he kill more people than Jack but he cut their heads off (most while still alive) and dismembered them. He then scattered them in pieces about town. Elliot Ness who was Safety Director started a manhunt to find him but he was never caught. This book tells the tale of the chase for the illusive killer, the various suspects and the victims (many of whom have never been identified.) It also gives you a good look at the Cleveland of yesteryear. If you like True Crime this book is a MUST.
