Step into an infinite world of stories
History
A true crime historian brings a light touch to the Bluegrass State’s dark past in this revised edition with more stories of racing, bourbon, and murder.
In Murder in Old Kentucky, Keven McQueen recounts dark and disturbing tales from the pages of Kentucky history, including the 1825 murder of Col. Solomon Sharp—a sordid affair that inspired Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Penn Warren. He also examines the 1881 Ashland Tragedy, a heartbreaking murder of three innocent teenagers.
This revised and expanded edition features new cases, including: an arsonist who terrorized a family, massacring eleven of their relatives and burning the property of even more; a husband and wife found shot in each other’s arms with a life-sized photo of another man between them; and many more deaths that made headlines.
Meticulously researched and written with Keven McQueen’s trademark humor, Murder in Old Kentucky will captivate any fan of true crime or Kentucky history.
