Beschreibung
Crime writer Cathy Pickens brings a novelist's eye to the stories that define the sinister--and quirky--side of the Triad. The Triad region ranks high in national murder statistics, but crime stories are always more interesting than numbers. Crimes in North Carolina's Piedmont happen in small towns, rural farmhouses and elegant mansions, carried out by criminals who were just visiting, some who were born in the Triad but moved elsewhere, and plenty who stayed close to home. Delve into the tale of Nannie Doss, the giggling grandma who lived in Lexington long enough to poison one of her husbands. The now-famous Alford plea was first used in Winston-Salem. Learn the real story of the Reynolds tobacco heir whose Lindbergh-inspired flight ambitions ended with a single gunshot.
