- A journey through Memphis&’ troubled past: the shocking crimes and the brutal killings that led to it being dubbed the &“Murder Capital of the World.&” With its alluring hospitality, legendary cuisine and transcendent music, Memphis is truly a quintessential Southern city. But lurking behind the barbeque and blue suede shoes is a dark history checkered with violence and disarray. Revisit the mass murder of 1866 that took more than fifty lives, the infamous Alice Mitchell case of the 1890s and a string of unthinkable twentieth-century sins. Author and lifelong Memphian Teresa Simpson explores some of the River City&’s most menacing crimes and notorious characters in this riveting ride back through the centuries. Includes photos!
