On September 5th, 1934, a young beachcomber made a gruesome discovery on the shores of Cleveland’s Lake Erie: the lower half of a female torso, neatly severed at the waist. The victim, dubbed “The Lady of the Lake,” was only the first of a butcher’s dozen. Over the next four years, twelve more bodies would be scattered across the city. The bodies were dismembered with surgical precision and drained of blood. Some were beheaded while still alive. Terror gripped the city. Amid the growing uproar, Cleveland’s besieged mayor turned to his newly-appointed director of public safety: Eliot Ness. Ness had come to Cleveland fresh from his headline-grabbing exploits in Chicago, where he and his band of “Untouchables” led the frontline assault on Al Capone’s bootlegging empire. Now he would confront a case that would redefine his storied career. Award-winning author Daniel Stashower shines a fresh light on one of the most notorious puzzles in the annals of crime, and uncovers the gripping story of Ness’s hunt for a sadistic killer who was as brilliant as he was cool and composed, a mastermind who was able to hide in plain sight.

We hope you enjoy this excerpt from AMERICAN DEMON, a historical true crime starring legendary lawman Eliot Ness.

An Excerpt from American Demon

The Suez Crisis of 1956 was the nadir of Britain's twentieth century, the moment when the once-superpower was bullied into retreat. "Great Britain has lost an empire and not yet found a role," said Dean Acherson, a former US secretary of state. Acheson's line has entered into the canon of great quotations: but it was wrong. Britain had already found a role. The leaders of the world just hadn't noticed it yet. Butler to the World reveals how Britain came to assume its role as the center of the offshore economy. Written polemically, but studded with witty references to the butlers of popular fiction, it demonstrates how so many elements of modern Britain have been put at the service of the world's oligarchs. The Biden administration is putting corruption at the heart of its foreign policy, and that means it needs to confront Britain's role as the foremost enabler of financial crime and ill behavior. This audiobook lays bare how London has deliberately undercut U.S. regulations for decades, and calls into question the extent to which Britain can be considered a reliable ally.Purchase Butler To The World at <a href="https://amzn.to/3zCFqhy">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/3zDEF7X">Audible</a>, <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/4908/9781250281920" target="_blank">Bookshop.org</a>, or your favorite bookstore.Check out all the <a href="https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/">Quick and Dirty Tips shows</a>.Join the conversation on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/quickdirtytips">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/quickdirtytips">Twitter</a>.Links: <a href="https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/">https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/</a> <a href="https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/podcasts">https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/podcasts</a> <a href="https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/subscribe">https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/subscribe</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/quickdirtytips">https://www.facebook.com/quickdirtytips</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/quickdirtytips">https://twitter.com/quickdirtytips</a>
