You Can't Never Get To Puckum

Hardcover book. it has been said that she had a handsome, fascinating face, but if we can believe her biographers, no greater monster ever lived. She has been called the most celebrated woman criminal in the history of Maryland and Delaware; a degenerate creature; a woman void of all human emotions and sympathies, the queen of kidnappers and murderers; the wickedest woman ever to walk on American soil. This is the story of Patty Cannon, in fiction and in fact.
