Very good in very good dust jacket. Slight bumping along top jacket edge, but no tears. Now protected in vinyl sleeve. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 272 p. Audience: General/trade. Charged with one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in this country, Winnie Judd breaks her silence about the 1931 murder of her two best friends whose dismembered bodies she allegedly stuffed into suitcases and sent by rail as baggage to Los Angeles. Sentenced to hang, she pled insanity and was committed instead to an insane asylum where she spent the next 39 years. Thorough research by the author reveals the massive cover-up that ruined Judd's life and created a decades-long embarrassment for both Phoenix and Arizona. An excellent read.
