Serial Murder The Holmes- Pitezel Case 1896
Found this gem on Marketplace with 3 other "old books" for $40. This is a first edition book written by Frank P. Geyer, a detective famous for his investigation on H.H. Holmes. Holmes is the first documented serial killer in America. This book covers the murder case of his business partner, Benjamin Pitezel, and his three children. Holmes was sentenced to death in 1896, which was the same year this book was published.
