The Midnight Assassin: The Hunt for America's First Serial Killer In the late 19th century, a series of brutal murders shook the city of Austin, Texas, leaving a trail of terror and panic in its wake. This was a time of great change for the city, as it transitioned from a small western outpost to a thriving metropolis. But the murders continued, and the killer became more brazen, pushing the citizens to the brink of madness. For over a decade, journalist Skip Hollandsworth has researched this gripping tale of murder and madness, uncovering the shocking truth behind the Midnight Assassin. With vivid historical detail and novelistic flair, Hollandsworth brings this terrifying saga to life, creating a whodunit that is as gripping as it is unsettling. This is a story of one of America's first serial killers, and the hunt that followed to catch him. It's a story of the darker side of human nature, and the devastating impact it can have on a community.
