The shocking story of the turn-of-the-century Atlanta Ripper and six other notorious cases from the dark side of Georgia's capital city.
Throughout 1911, Georgia's Gate City was terrorized by a serial killer whose gruesome murders mirrored those of London's Jack the Ripper. Only Atlanta's Ripper claimed nearly three times as many victimsAfrican American servant girls who, week by week, fell prey to the mysterious slasher. Like Jack, he was never found. His killing spree was just one in a century of appalling Atlanta crimes that would make national headlines.
This chilling volume also includes the story of thirteen-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan, whose brutal slaying led to one of the most infamous trials in Georgia history. Journalist Corinna Underwood also explores the facts behind what came to be known as the Atlanta Child Murders and the conviction of perpetrator Wayne Williams; as well as the inexplicable vanishing of newlywed, Mary Shotwell Little. Still being investigated after forty years, the case of the "disappearing bride" haunts Atlanta to this day.
