The true story of James Howard Snook, Theora Hix, and one of the most shocking crimes of the 1920s.



In the sweltering summer of 1929, the people of Columbus, Ohio, were enthralled by the story of Dr. James Howard Snookโ€”an Ohio State University veterinary professor and Olympic gold medal-winning pistol shooter who was put on trial for the murder of his twenty-four-year-old lover, a medical student.



This riveting account reveals how Snook was captured and interrogated, including his gory confession of Theora Hix's death. During the trial, the details of the illicit love affair were so salacious that newspapers could only hint about what really led to the coed's murder and the professor's ultimate punishment. This is the first full account of this astonishing story, from scandalous beginning to tragic end.

Mark Gribben is a writer living near Columbus, Ohio. A nationally recognized crime historian, his work has appeared in many publications, online and on television. He began his writing career as a courthouse reporter and newspaper editor. His true-crime website was recognized by Rolling Stone magazine, which called it a riveting site documenting notorious crimes from the past two centuries.

From his home studio on the Jersey Shore, Brian P. Craig uses his voice in a number of contexts to help his clients make a lasting connection with their audiences. Audiobooks are his favorite type of project, and his work has included a novel about a father dealing with his son's severe autism, a commentary on dealing with China in the Xi Jinping era, and scholarship on the depiction of the state in the Bible.
