WINNIE RUTH
JUDD IS BACK, TO ENTHRALL READERS ALL OVER AGAIN!!
Poisoned Pen Press of Scottsdale, Arizona, is republishing Jana
Bommersbach's acclaimed "The Trunk Murderess," that rips the lid off
one of America's most salacious and disturbing crime legends.
Since the 1930s, Winnie Ruth Judd's name has been
cloaked in mystery and questions: did the beautiful young girl
really kill her best friends; did she really cut them up into
pieces; did she really do all this alone?
Jana answers all those questions in a skilled probe
that won Arizona's Don Bolles Award for Investigative Reporting.
Her book was then recognized as one of the nation's five top
non-fiction books in 1992, when it was nominated for the prestigious
Edgar Allan Poe Award. It also won Arizona's only literary
prize.
The republished book, with new pictures and new
insights, will premiere at the Arizona Book Festival, April 5, 2003.
The festival is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Carnegie Library, 1101 W.
Washington, Phoenix.
