Wicked Grand Rapids
About this book
Investigate the citizens of Grand Rapids, even those above suspicion, with author and local history enthusiast Amberrose Hammond as she uncovers a seedy cast of characters from the city's past. Meet career criminals like Clem Blood, who tore off all his clothes during sentencing, only to be presented with a new suit at public expense. Open a love letter from Grand Rapids' own Lonely Hearts killer, who lured his victims by direct mail. Unseal the habeas corpus proceedings for the gruesome details of what the "Grand Rapids Press" called "the most cold blooded crime in the history of the city." Stay out of the shadows, keep your doors locked and enjoy delving into the wicked side of the Furniture City.
