American Murder Houses: A Coast-to-Coast Tour of the Most Notorious Houses of Homicide

There are places in the United States of America where violent acts of bloodshed have occurred.
Years may passâ€”even centuriesâ€”but the mark of death remains.
They are known as Murder Houses.

From a colonial manse in New England to a small-town home in Iowa to a Beverly Hills mansion, these residences have taken on a life of their own, gaining everything from local lore and gossip to nationalâ€”and even globalâ€”infamy.
Writer Steve Lehto recounts the stories behind the houses where Lizzie Borden supposedly gave her stepmother â€œforty whacks,â€ where the real Amityville Horror was first unleashed by gunfire, and where the demented acts of the Manson Family horrified a nationâ€”as well some lesser-known sites of murder that were no less ghastly.
Exploring the past and present of more than twenty-five renowned homicide scenes, American Murder Houses is a tour through the real estate of some of the most grisly and fascinating crimes in American history.
