Beale and George Baker, two men convicted of murdering Daniel Delaney in 1865. The author meticulously reconstructs the events leading up to the crime, detailing Beale…and Baker's discussions, their meticulously planned ambush, and the brutal aftermath. The confessions reveal the chilling motives behind the murder, driven by greed and a desire for easy wealth, as well as the unsettling role of alcohol in fueling the crime.
