On the afternoon of April 26, 1913, thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan arrived at the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia, where she worked, to pick up her paycheck. The next day, Mary's bloody, battered, and bruised dead body was found in the basement of the pencil factory, the victim of foul play.
The Jewish-American factory superintendent Leo Frank was arrested, tried, and convicted for the murder in a controversial trial. Frank himself became the victim of a lynch mob, when they broke him out of prison and hung him from a tree. But was Leo Frank truly guilty of Mary Phagan's violent death? Or did the real killer get away with cold-blooded murder? Listen to this compelling tale of child murder, anti-Semitism, racism, and legal twists and turns that rival any true crime case today and decide for yourself.
Included is a complete and riveting bonus story from the best-selling true crime book, Serial Killer Couples, by R.
