Synopsis
FOR TEN YEARS, HE TERRORIZED THEM WITHOUT MERCY… Ken McElroy robbed, raped, burned, shot, and maimed the citizens of Skidmore, Missouri, without conscience or remorse. Again and again, the law had failed to stop him. UNTIL THEY TOOK JUSTICE INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. 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… IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, Ken McElroy terrorized Skidmore, Missouri, for years--robbing, raping, shooting, and maiming the citizens into submission until they had finally had enough. While 45 townspeople looked on, McElroy was shot and killed . . . but the police could find no witnesses.

    • Excellent true story in book form

      I had read this book years ago and I loaned it to someone, who did not return it to me. So, knowing what a good book it is and it is a true story, I wanted to read it again. Fast shipping

    • Sums up when the incident occurred

      Read this book yrs ago & couldn't believe that this guy got away with his behavior until the people he bullied took the action they did; since there didn't seem to to any other way to resolve the problem.
