Description: A true crime story about thirty-eight year-old Catherine Clark of Boston, Massachusetts who was unlucky in love. It had been five years since her husband was placed in the insane asylum and they divorced. Her prospects in Boston were either lackluster or cheats so she decided to take an unconventional route: mail correspondence through a nationwide matrimonial bureau. A letter from James Murphy of Spokane, Washington caught her fancy and a romantic courtship through the mail began. He was flattering, prosperous, and ready to settle down and marry. Three months later, Catherine left her life in Boston and boarded a train west. She arrived in Spokane on September 21, 1928 only to land in the arms of her killer. The book contains photos, maps, and other images related to the story.
