Reviews
"Chris DeRose has written a wonderfully entertaining book about a long forgotten and quite amazing episode in our history. Star Spangled Scandal captures the mania surrounding the scandalous murder and trial that became America's first true crime obsession." -- Dan Abrams * Chief Legal Affairs Anchor, ABC News *
"A riveting tale of a legendary murder trial set against the backdrop of a nation coming apart at the seams. DeRose's narrative couldn't be more timely in reflecting the harsh partisan feelings, the celebrity culture, and the shocking violence of the era. He reminds us how Washington scandals first enflamed the public, and still captivate us today." -- J.D. Dickey * bestselling author of Rising in Flames and Empire of Mud *
