Lovers of true crime and Ohio history will find themselves riveted by these crimes of passion.
There is a thin line between love and hate, and when intense passion threatens that border, blood will flow. Northern Ohio has had its share of people who felt that line snap. In Canton, the Phantom-Flapper Killer shot down her lover in cold blood after he threatened to expose her infidelity to the world. In Toledo, Dorothy Brown's married boyfriend brutally attacked her when he learned that she was expecting. Max Amerman of Medina was willing to kill for the girl of his dreams, and when Cleveland's Matilda Waldman believed that her husband was cursed by a witch, she took out the she-devil by way of a pistol.
Author Wendy Koile examines these relationships once bound by love, unraveled by lies, and cut off by murder.
