Death Ride at Euclid Beach

Cleveland's crime and disaster expert is back yet again, with more true tales of woe from local history. This fifth book in John Stark Bellamy's popular series (which includes THEY DIED CRAWLING and THE KILLER IN THE ATTIC) delivers 26 new accounts of Cleveland-area crimes and disasters from 1900 through 1950, including the title story about a death on the "Thriller" roller coaster at Euclid Beach Park. Also included is a particularly odd local legend: "The Boy with Hitler's Face." Sometimes gruesome, often surprising, always entertaining.
