The Druggist: Inside the Murder Castle of Dr. H.H. Holmes

from Literary Titan · host Literary Titan

So you think you have the boss from Hell?It's the era of Jack the Ripper, of mean, polluted streets, derby hats, hansom cabs and curlicued mustaches. In 1890s Chicago, no one suspects Dr H.H. Holmes of being a serial killing psychopath, least of all his dutiful handyman, Ben Pitezel. Ben gets himself in Holmes' good graces, assisting him on insurance scams, which helps Ben provide comfortably for his wife and growing family. But when a beautiful young blonde co-worker goes missing from Holmes' shop, and especially when Ben witnesses Holmes' torture dungeon in the basement of the "Murder Castle," he begins to understand Holmes' devious nature. But is it too late to stop him?📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3S7gCcW
