Book excerpt: The newest series from Globe features regional history with a true crime twist! Written by true crime author-experts, each book focuses on the most significant (and prolific) violent female criminals from that state or region.

The author provides a look at the lives of at each killer through primary source materials, including diaries and trial records.
