Murder and Mayhem in the Highlands : Historic

Visitors gazing out over the Highlands of coastal New Jersey might never guess that these rolling hills have been a stage for mankind's darkest deeds. In his thrilling new book, Murder Mayhem in the Highlands, John King shines a spotlight on the region's violent history of kidnapping, murder, smuggling and extortion. From axe-wielding lunatics to killers who leave calling cards, King presents each case with the care of a criminal investigator, including details from coroners' reports and witness testimonies.
