THE TWO LOST GIRLS THE MYSTERY OF THE GRIMES SISTERS BY TROY TAYLOR On a cold night in December 1956, two young girls mysteriously vanished after a night at the movies on the Southwest Side of Chicago, beginning one of the greatest searches to ever take place in the history of the city. Three weeks later, the bodies of the two lost girls, Barbara and Patricia Grimes, were found on the side of a secluded, snow-covered road, miles from where they disappeared. The discovery of their battered corpses created one of the greatest unsolved mysteries to ever baffle post-war America. Where had the girls been for the past three weeks? Who had killed them? Why could no one determine their actual cause of death? The discovery of the two lost girls began a criminal investigation of epic proportions, involving hundreds of police officers and detectives, embattled coroners, thousands of potential suspects, eerie confessions, psychics, and puzzling questions that no one seemed able to answer. The authorities believed that the girls had died on the night they went missing, but how could they account for the scores of sightings of them that occurred days and even weeks later? What of the reliable witnesses that saw them or spoke to them in person, or during late-night phone calls? And the biggest question of all – why could no one find their killer? In this chilling entry in the “Dead Men Do Tell Tales” Series, author Troy Taylor explores this horrifying case and takes readers step-by-step through the case, pursuing the suspects, and exploring the links between other crimes that may have been committed by the same unknown killer who murdered the Grimes sisters and was never caught. This may be the most unsettling book from Troy Taylor that you’ve ever read!

DEAD MEN DO TELL TALES: "I WANT TO COME HOME TONIGHT" THE HAUNTING STORY OF MARION PARKER BY TROY TAYLOR It’s Christmas in Los Angeles, 1927, and a bank officer named Perry Parker receives a bizarre ransom note, telling him that one of his twin daughters, Marion, has been kidnapped and that she’ll be returned if he follows a series of explicit instructions. Little does Parker know, but his daughter is already dead – strangled and horribly dismembered by a madman who calls himself the “Fox.” Although he claims to be a “master criminal,” the kidnapper is actually a disturbed young man named William Edward Hickman, whose plans for a “big crime” spin terrifyingly out of control and end in tragedy, horror, and a lingering haunting. In this chilling installment of the “Dead Men Do Tell Tales” series, Troy Taylor reveals the eerie true story of one of the most horrific kidnapping and murder cases in American history, from the moment Marion Parker disappeared to the day that her killer swung from the gallows – and delves into the ghostly tale that has lingered long after her death. There are few murder tales in Los Angeles history as gruesome as the story of Marion Parker and it’s one of the strangest stories to ever be featured in the series. It’s also one that will stay with you long after the final pages have been turned!
