Description
The 1830 murder of wealthy slaver Joseph White shook all of Salem, Massachusetts. Soon, the crime drew national attention when it was discovered that two of the conspirators came from Salem's influential Crowninshield family: a clan of millionaire shipowners, cabinet secretaries, and congressmen. A prosecution team led by famed Massachusetts senator Daniel Webster made the case even more newsworthy.
Meanwhile, young Salem native Nathaniel Hawthorne, who knew several of the accused, observed and wrote. Here, using source materials not available previously, Edward J. Renehan Jr. provides a riveting narrative of the cold-blooded murder, intense investigations, scandal-strewn trials, and grim executions that dominated headlines nearly two hundred years ago.
Deliberate Evil offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the chilling details and broader implications of a crime that captivated the nation. With meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Renehan brings to life an era and a scandal that still resonate today.
