"A rollicking, no-holds-barred account of the facts (and continued speculation) about some of the darkest events and weirdest people in Cleveland's history." -- Youngstown Vindicator

The foulest crimes and worst disasters in Cleveland history are recounted in these 15 incredible-but-true tales, including:

  • A no-holds-barred account of the infamous and sensational Sam Sheppard murder trial;

  • The apocalyptic East Ohio Gas Company explosion and fire of 1944 that destroyed the entire east-side Norwood-St. Clair neighborhood;

  • The chilling 1919 Dan Kaber murder, in which three generations of Lakewood women--mother, daughter, and grandmother--conspired to dispose of an inoffensive husband with arsenic and knife-wielding hired killers;

  • Genius inventor Garrett A. Morgan's dramatic gas-masked rescue efforts during the gruesome 1916 waterworks collapse;

  • Cleveland Electric Railway Car 642's horrifying plunge off the Central Viaduct into the Cuyahoga River in the Flats;

  • The weird tale of industrialist Joe Gogan's trial for murdering his wife--by hitting her in the face with a bag of rat poison;

These gripping narratives deliver high drama and dark comedy, heroes and villains, obsession, courage, treachery, deceit, fear, and guilt--all from the streets of Cleveland.
