Murders, Mysteries and Misdemeanors in Northern California

This book explores the dark history of Northern California, sharing the lives of outlaws, their endeavors, conflicts, flights from justice, and more. Not as well known today, some of the country’s notable criminals have come and affected this part of the Golden State. From the Folsom Five (who tried to escape and became some of the first to get executed by gas chamber) to the Battle of Alcatraz, this book shares stories like this and more. While not as notable as, say, stories like that of serial killers like the Night Stalker of Southern California, this part of the state has its share of notable criminal history. The book includes notable crimes and criminals to some quirky and less intense crimes.
