This novel is non-fiction. It's not for the faint of heart. Private Andrew Jackson Johnson was a Civil War soldier. He served in the Confederate States Army (CSA). As you read his story, you will march, walk, eat, sleep, and fight with this warrior. You will know the horror of killing the man in front of you just to have another step up and attempt to take your life. After the fight and as darkness descends, you will hear the screams of the dying as they lay on the bloody battlefield. However, you cannot assist the wounded until the battle ends and one side retreats. In many conflicts, this took days, and the injured slowly died in the most agonizing way. Andrew fought in some of the bloodiest battles recorded in the Civil War. He describes them in detail. This man fought for four years before being shot. He was home recuperating when the south surrendered. Private Andrew Jackson Johnson was my great-great-grandfather. Although he died before I was born, I want to honor him with this book and acknowledge my pride in being one of his descendants.

“A tour de force of storytelling.” —Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache series “Jobb’s excellent storytelling makes the book a pleasure to read.” —The New York Times Book Review ”When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals,” Sherlock Holmes observed during one of his most baffling investigations. “He has nerve and he has knowledge.” In the span of fifteen years, Dr. Thomas Neill Cream murdered as many as ten people in the United States, Britain, and Canada, a death toll with almost no precedent. Poison was his weapon of choice. Largely forgotten today, this villain was as brazen as the notorious Jack the Ripper. Structured around the doctor’s London murder trial in 1892, when he was finally brought to justice, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream exposes the blind trust given to medical practitioners, as well as the flawed detection methods, bungled investigations, corrupt officials, and stifling morality of Victorian society that allowed Dr. Cream to prey on vulnerable and desperate women, many of whom had turned to him for medical help. Dean Jobb transports readers to the late nineteenth century as Scotland Yard traces Dr. Cream’s life through Canada and Chicago and finally to London, where new investigative tools called forensics were just coming into use, even as most police departments still scoffed at using science to solve crimes. But then, most investigators could hardly imagine that serial killers existed—the term was unknown. As the Chicago Tribune wrote, Dr. Cream’s crimes marked the emergence of a new breed of killer: one who operated without motive or remorse, who “murdered simply for the sake of murder.” For fans of Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City, all things Sherlock Holmes, or the podcast My Favorite Murder, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream is an unforgettable true crime story from a master of the genre.
