The Killer in the Attic: and More True Tales of Crime and Disaster from Cleveland's Past John Stark Bellamy II 1st edition

?Fascinating and yes entertaining . . . often in a bizarre way that leaves the reader feeling guilty for being so entertained.? ? Medina County Gazette

? Love-crazed Clark Hill, who warmed up his teenage girlfriend with an overdose of Spanish Fly in her milk shake;

? The chilling Cuyahoga River scow disaster, in which 16 clinging, drowning men fought so desperately to stay afloat that they dragged each other to the dark bottom of the river;

? Doomed workmen Patrick Toolis and Patrick Cleary, buried alive in the very concrete that became Cleveland?s celebrated Terminal Tower;

? Not-so-friendly Dorothy Kaplan, who deposited shards of glass in her neighbors? milk in hopes of helping slow the ?noisy? couple down a bit;

? Mafia legend Shondor Birns, whose high-profile life of crime came to an explosive end when he started up his Lincoln Continental one fine day;

And other detailed and compelling accounts of the unspeakable.
