In Historic Columbus Crimes, the father-daughter team of David
Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker looks back at sixteen tales of
murder, mystery and mayhem culled from city history. Take the rock
star slain by a troubled fan or the drag queen slashed to death by
a would-be ninja. Then there's the writer who died acting out the
plot of his next book, the minister's wife incinerated in the
parsonage furnace and a couple of serial killers who outdid the Son
of Sam. Not to mention a gunfight at Broad and High, grave-robbing
medical students, the bloodiest day in FBI history and other
fascinating stories of crime and tragedy. They're all here, and
they're all true
