Evil Obsession: The Anne Cook Story

A brand new book. We will include a typed copy of the true names behind the pseudonyms used in the book, at no charge. Pages are clean, tight and bright. No library markings. This is an exact reprint of the 1991 edition but undated. The unbelievable yet true story of a woman who started a brothel in Omaha with her daughter as one of her "ladies," took over a county poor farm and ultimately, through intimidation, torture and even murder (including that of her own daughter) literally took over the entire Nebraska county in the early years of the 20th century. Illustrated with photos. North Platte, Nebraska became known as the "little Chicago of the west."
