The case of Lizzy Borden stands out in the history of sensational
criminal cases, but she was not the only person to be accused of
killing her parents. Historically, about two percent of all murders
are parricides.
This book examines 103 selected cases of individuals charged
with parricide--the murder of a father or mother--in the United
States in the last half of the 19th century, categorized here by
their links to abuse, alcohol, or money, sometimes involving
multiple murderers or the deaths of both parents.
