“How strangely does the adventurous
intrude upon the humdrum; for, when
it intrudes at all, more often than not
its intrusion is sudden and unlooked
for. To-day, we may seek for
romance and fail to find it: unsought,
it lies in wait for us at the most
prosaic corners of life's highway.”
― Sax Rohmer, The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu

Murder & Madness,
by Matthew G. Schoenbachler

The "Kentucky Tragedy" was early

Jereboam O. Beauchamp assassinated Kentucky
attorney general Solomon P. Sharp. The murder, trial,
conviction, and execution of the killer, as well as the
suicide of his wife, Anna Cooke Beauchamp,
fascinated Americans. The episode became the basis of
dozens of novels and plays composed by some of the
country's most esteemed literary talents, among them
Edgar Allan Poe and William Gilmore Simms.
