Collins AwardA New York Times BestsellerOne of Book Riot Best Book of the YearIn nineteenth-century Austin, Texas, a ruthless murderer terrorized the city in what would soon become a story more shocking than any fiction.In the late 1800s, just as Austin was on the cusp of emerging from an isolated western outpost into a truly cosmopolitan metropolis, a series of brutal murders rocked the burgeoning city and shook it to its core. At the time, the concept of a serial killer was unknown and unimaginable, but the murders continued, the killer became more brazen, and the citizens panic reached a fever pitch.For more than a decade, Texas Monthly journalist Skip Hollandsworth has researched this gripping tale of murder and madness that plays out like a well-crafted whodunit. With vivid historical detail and novelistic flair, Hollandsworth's The Midnight Assassin: The Hunt for America's First Serial Killer brings this terrifying saga to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52208027140384,"sku":"NEW1250118492","price":12.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/8150a9hDZkS.jpg?v=1787130415","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-midnight-assassin-the-hunt-for-americas-first-serial-killer-1250118492","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
