Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
“J. Robert Zane cleverly weaves a tale about the history of Pottsville, PA around a forgotten, but compelling story of a psychotic killer on the loose.”
Mark Major, local historian



Pottsville, PA celebrated its Centennial in 1906 with great expectations for its future. While it was a time of great promise, it was also a time of great political intrigue, struggling musicians, powerful brewers, and a shocking murder.





Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Very interesting
Having spent a lot of time in Pottsville for various "Pottsville Maroons" activities, I was interested in knowing more about the city. Its history leading up to 1925 was well presented, and with the addition of local mystery made it a good read.





Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Engrossing, haunting tale
This is a fascinating story of a proud, beautiful and prosperous city celebrating its' centennial. The city, Pottsville, Pennsylvania was the centre of the countries' anthracite coal industry-an industry whose hold on the American economy was beginning to give way. At a time of much joy and pride the citizens of Pottsville, PA would be stunned and shocked by an unspeakable crime. A monster walked among the good citizens of Pottsville but they never knew it until it was much too late. In plain language Mr. Zane takes the reader from the entertainment and joy of the City's celebrations, introduced them to the rich and powerful and then delivers a heart wrenching punch to the mind and heart. Absorbing, hard to put down.
