Secrets of the Congdon Mansion

The inside story of the infamous Congdon Murders in Duluth, Minnesota. Heiress Elisabeth Congdon was smothered to death in her bedroom in the Glensheen Mansion on Lake Superior. Her night nurse was bludgeoned to death on the grand staircase. Police charged Congdon's adopted daughter with planning the murders to speed up her inheritance. Although the daughter was acquitted, she stayed in the news with charges of bigamy, arson and more murder. Tours of the mansion don't mention the murders, so this book explains the case in an interesting, readable style. Maps and diagrams help you chart the killer's progress through the house.
