Paperback. In True Crime in Adams County, Volume 2, Quincy native and bestselling author Robert Turek returns to his hometown's darkest chapters, uncovering real cases that shook this Mississippi River community from the 1800s through the late 20th century. Drawing from contemporaneous newspaper accounts, court records, archival research, and family oral histories, Turek reconstructs crimes that are as unsettling as anything from big-city headlines, only these happened in the place thousands of people still call home.Inside, readers will encounter: The horrifying "Mass Murder in Mendon", where a mother kills her four children before taking her own life in 1989.The eerie case of "The Blind Murderer", a wealthy, sightless man entangled in the brutal axe killings of his wife and niece on a Liberty farm.The heartbreaking mystery of infanticide in LaPrairie and a judge who dares the public to blame him for setting a mother free.The story of "Quincy's Original Drug Kingpin", a large-scale narcotics trafficker who also happens to be the author's great-great uncle.The rise and spectacle of the Ku Klux Klan in Quincy during the 1920s, complete with hooded gatherings, flaming crosses, and political influence.Turek writes with the pacing of a true crime novelist and the care of a local historian. He avoids sensationalism, treating each victim with respect while honestly portraying the choices and circumstances that led ordinary people into extraordinary darkness.
