Murder leaves no decade unscarred. In 1903 the lieutenant governor of South Carolina shot dead a local newspaper editor in full view of witnesses. In 1944 George Stinney was marched to the electric chair at age fourteen. In 1994 a mother made national news pleading for the return of her kidnapped sons when in truth she had driven them to a watery grave herself. Jones spares no chilling detail in describing each of these crimes; all make for fascinating and terrifying reading.
