The Mack Marsden Murder Mystery

- Vigilantism or Justice?

About The Mack Marsden Murder Mystery

In the late nineteenth century, Jefferson County, Missouri, was striving to emulate its cosmopolitan cousin to the north, St. Louis, while it battled to wipe out the remnants of its frontier lawlessness. For over three years, Mack Marsden was suspected of every major crime in Jefferson County. Though the newspapers labeled him a desperado, he was tried only once and never convicted of any wrongdoing. So when he was ambushed, shotgunned, and left dying on a dusty road, his mystery took on a new life. Who murdered him? And if Mack wasn t behind all those crimes, who was? This narrative nonfiction book is a true mystery that bears striking parallels to that of fellow Missourian Jesse James and is as thrilling as any of the more famous tales of the Old West."
