[nice clean tight book, appears unread, slight bumping to bottom corners the only blemish; jacket shows just a touch of wear at lower extremities]. (B&W photographs, illustrations) A major work of scholarship about the endlessly fascinating (and probably ultimately unsolvable) case of Lizzie Borden, who gave her parents forty whacks -- or did she? -- in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. The author has been called "the consummate Borden scholar, researcher and writer."
