UNTIL THEY TOOK JUSTICE INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
</b>On July 10, 1981, Ken was shot to death on the main street of this small farming community. Forty-five people watched. No indictments were ever issued, no trial held…and the town of Skidmore protected the killers with silence. With this powerful, true-life account, Edgar Award–winning author Harry N. MacLean reveals what drove a community of everyday American citizens to commit murder…

Reader Reviews

This book is an excellent account of the events that led up to the McElroy shooting, and, it also shows a true flavor of how small towns operate, and how people behave. This combination of factors make this book a must read. This newer version also has an epilogue from 2006, so the town of Skidmore, MO is revisited.
