- Summary
- Spokane's dark and fascinating history is loaded with shocking murders, bootlegging mischief, and devastating drama. The beautiful city by the Spokane River was once considered a millionaire's paradise as well as a hobo's playground, but danger lurked beneath the surface. The Black Hand gang, police hot on its trail, stalked the streets looking for local mobster Frank Bruno. A cannibal sought fresh victims, and a teenage boy picked up an ax for nefarious purposes. McNeil State Penitentiary housed notorious characters Charles Manson and the Birdman of Alcatraz, while Herbert Niccolls Jr., locked up at twelve years old, made history as the youngest inmate at Walla Walla Penitentiary. Join author Deborah Cuyle as she uncovers the Lilac City's violent past.
