Showing results for "the-field" in True Crime

Iowa: a land of endless cornfields, friendly neighbors, and wholesome small-town charm. But scratch the surface, and you’ll find a state with a history as dark as its nights are quiet. Beneath the bucolic veneer lies a chilling tapestry of violence, secrets, and crimes that defy explanation. Take the Villisca ax murders of 1912—a nightmarish bloodbath that turned a sleepy town into a scene of unspeakable horror. Eight souls, slaughtered in their beds.

In 1920's Kansas, the mangled body of champion buggy racer Tommy Donnan has been discovered beneath his carriage, dragged to his death by his own horse. His twelve-year-old sister, Millie, does not believe his death was an accident. She wants to know the truth behind the night Tommy died. But with her mother given over to grief, her father to fate, and her only surviving brother, Junior, a shell of himself since returning from The Great War, Millie will have to seek this truth alone.
