McQueen brings old and sorded stories to life based on his indefagitable research. Because of his descriptive detail, yet easily read prose, one might consider McQueen to have been an actual witness to the 25 crimes he presents. A bonus is the intersting historical perspective of Kentucky culture one gains from the stories.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Steve Flairty * Kentucky Monthly *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to 2021 edition\u003cbr\u003e1.
