By 1966, Hot Springs, Arkansas wasn't your typical sleepy little
Southern town. Once a favorite destination for mobsters like Al
Capone and Lucky Luciano, illegal activities continued to lure
out-of-state gamblers, flim-flam men, and high rollers to its
racetracks, clubs, and bordellos. Still, the town was shaken to its
core after a girl was found dead on a nearby ranch. The ranch owner
claimed it was an accident. Then the rancher was found to be the
killer of another woman - his fourth wife. The story begins when
13-year-old Cathie Ward was found dead after horseback riding at
Blacksnake Ranch on the outskirts of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Frank
Davis, the owner of the ranch, tells authorities Cathie's death is
an accident. He claims her foot caught in a stirrup and she was
dragged to her death despite his pursuit of the runaway horse.
People who know the 42-year-old skilled horseman don't believe his
story, and soon rumors of her rape and murder begin swirling around
town. The rumors reach a crescendo after Davis viciously guns down
his fourth wife and mother-in-law in broad daylight outside of a
laundromat. Davis is arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
Soon after, Hot Springs authorities re-open the investigation into
Cathie Ward's death. Snake Eyes is the first book to examine this
decades-old murder and cover-up, and the only in-depth account of
the man who would become the town's most notorious villain.
Featuring personal interviews, crime scene records, court
documents, and Davis' own prison files, author and lifelong Hot
Springs resident Bitty Martin reveals the true story for the first
time.
