Four young women were murdered in the nation’s capital between 1929 and 1935. Their deaths had no connection to each other. Each woman was different.

When it comes to murder, nothing has changed in the last 100 years. The cold-blooded killers of today are the same as they were long ago. To prove this theory, consider the case summaries that are featured in this audiobook.
