Yet underneath the mint juleps, oaks bearded with Spanish moss and the splendor of colonial architecture, there lurks a deadly undercurrent. This is a first-person account of an award-winning newspaper crime reporter''s career, covering scores of murders in the Savannah area, including one of the bloodiest eras in the city''s history: in 1985, metro Savannah earned notoriety with the nation''s highest homicide rate.  The author describes a wide range of crimes, including murders over a 14-year-old lover, $4 for hamburgers or a baby carriage; the grisly murder of a voodoo priest; bound corpses in the waterways and interstate body dumping grounds; the Scarecrow and Say Cheese Killers, serial killer Wade Sheffield; and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude: Beginnings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1. Front-Page Murders: Some of the Most Sensational\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2. Other Murders Most Foul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3. The All but Forgotten: A Few of Savannah's Cold Cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4. The Year of Dying Dangerously\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5. Homicide in the Hinterland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6. Blood on the Badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 7. Missing Persons Files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 8. Water, Water Everywhere: Hurricanes, Rescues and Corpses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 9. People Do the Strangest Things: The Sad, Tragic, Vicious and Just Weird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 10. Difference Makers, Heroes and Characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 11. Savannah Vice and St. Patrick's Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515849412951,"sku":"9781476691831","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476691831.jpg?v=1745428067","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/bloody-savannah-9781476691831","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
