A Bat In The Belfry B a Ellis

Nearly 100 years before the Boston Strangler - over a decade before England's Jack the Ripper - the world was gripped by news of the Boston Belfry Murderer. The citizens of Boston were under a siege of arsons, assaults, rapes, and murders. During the Great Conflagration of 1872, thirty people lost their lives - while sixty acres of the city were completely destroyed. Over the next few years, a series of crimes would terrorize the city and captivate the world. Witness the story unfold, as told by the actual participants, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and judges.
