Murder in the Heartland: Book One

In a place where murder isnt supposed to happenSouthern Illinoisdeputy sheriff and investigator Harry Spiller learned the hard reality: murder is all around us. It doesnt matter whether you live in a big city or small county with farms and churchesmurder is swift and can happen to anyone, anywhere, and anytime. All too often, victims fall prey in places we think are safe to raise our families, where we take walks on hot summer nights, where our children play in the park or yard without concern, and where we leave our doors unlocked at night. Murder in the Heartland tells the stories of innocent victims in these seemingly innocent places. From his research and investigations of twenty murder cases, Spiller recounts the gruesome details of an axe murder, a hitchhiking incident, serial killings, and even a victim buried within the concrete floors of her own basement. As much as we like to think were safe, murder can happen even in rural Americaand it does. Join Spiller in his first of three installments of these horrifying murders in the heartland.
