Thoughts of Alabama invite images of Confederate jasmine and
fertile cotton fields, sweet iced tea and southern hospitality. But
even in paradise, evil sometimes creeps in. Some of the stories
captured within the pages of this book are well known to the good
folks of North Alabama; others are less familiar. The scandals of
Lincoln's brother- in-law, the reign of terror created by
Huntsville's Southwest Molester, the Decatur man who buried his
wife's dismembered body under the fishpond and the beautiful Black
Widow of Hazel Green- all of these stories and more are well
researched and masterfully written by Huntsville author Jacquelyn
Procter Reeves. True-crime fans will appreciate this treasury of
stories spanning nearly two hundred years of North Alabama history.
