I read a great book, An Unspeakable Crime: The Prosecution and Persecution of Leo Franks, by Elaine Marie Alphin. In 1913, a teenager named Mary Phagan was brutally murdered in the basement of the factory in which she worked. Leo Franks was in the factory that day. So he was accused of her murder. Two years later Leo Franks was killed. Was it justified or was it an "unspeakable crime?" Read the book and find out. This spellbinding true story will keep your interest from cover to cover.
