This unassuming twenty-seven-year-old woman was beloved by all she met, including celebrities like jazz crooner Bing Crosby. With ambitions to become a doctor, it seemed Marion Miley was headed for greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut on September 28, 1941, six gunshots broke through the early morning stillness of the Lexington Country Club. Marion had been brutally murdered. News of her death spread quickly, headlining major papers such as the\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. Support flooded in, spurring police in the hunt for her killers. However, the bombing of Pearl Harbor less than two months later would redirect public attention and sweep Marion's story to a forgotten corner of time--until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Murder of Marion Miley\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the ensuing manhunt and trial, exploring the impact of class, family, and opportunity in a world where steely determination is juxtaposed with callous murderous intent. As the narrative voice oscillates between Marion's father, her best friend, and one of her killers, an ever-present specter of what could have been--not just for Marion, but for all those affected by her tragic death--is conjured. Drawing on intensive research typical of the true crime genre, Beverly Bell produces a passionate homage to one of the greatest golfers of the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBeverly Bell\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning magazine and crime writer whose work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eArizona Highways\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIndianapolis Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKeeneland Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKentucky Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e.
