<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Shots rang out in a prominent Pittsfield family home on the morning of August 20, 1900, ending the life of young socialite May Fosburgh. Who pulled the trigger was unclear, and the scandal captivated attention well beyond the Berkshires. Her brother was a top suspect, but the distraught family claimed an intruder was to blame. Investigators, media and the public struggled to make sense of conflicting details, including suspicious gunpowder residue, as the mystery remained unsolved. Author Frank J. Leskovitz unravels the tale that still lingers in the hills generations later.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Author Frank Leskovitz doesn't claim to have new evidence. Nevertheless, he presents a clear, thorough account of this old crime....The book respects the dead but also respects the interest readers take in the past. Photos, some taken by the author and some provided by Fosburgh descendants, enliven the text, which should interest lovers of local history and of true crime." <i>The Recorder</i><br><br>
