Murder in the Heartland: Book Two

Description

In a place where murder isn't supposed to happen—rural Missouri and Southern Illinois—deputy sheriff and investigator Harry Spiller learned the hard reality: murder is all around us. It doesn't matter whether you live in a big city or small county with farms and churches—murder is swift and can happen to anyone, anywhere, and anytime.

All too often, victims fall prey in places we think are safe to raise our families, where we take walks on hot summer nights, where our children play in the park or yard without concern, and where we leave our doors unlocked at night.

Murder in the Heartland: Book Two tells the stories of innocent victims in these seemingly innocent places. From his research and investigations of ten murder cases, Spiller recounts the gruesome details of a fraternity hazing gone deadly, teen killings, and even murders by those living and working with the victims.

As much as we like to think we're safe, murder can happen even in rural America—and it does. Join Spiller in the second instalment of his three-book series of these horrifying murders in the heartland.
