Historic Crimes of Long Island: Misdeeds from the 1600s to the 1950s (True Crime)

The Long Island True Crime Collection is a chilling volume that reveals centuries of rogues, murderers, spurned lovers, and accused witches who called Long Island home.

Author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky uncovers some of the most ghastly and fascinating historical crimes committed on Long Island, including a Victorian romance gone awry in Huntington when wealthy farmer Charles Kelsey was tarred, feathered, and murdered in 1872.

Thirty-five years before the famous witch trials of Salem, East Hampton had its own Puritan hysteria among charges of witchcraft.

The 1937 kidnapping of wealthy heiress Alice Parsons shook the quiet town of Stony Brook and remains a mystery to this day.

With tight, you-are-there prose, Brosky propels the reader from one piece to another, covering a wide range of sinister and often heinous actions.
