On a hot summer day in August of 1892 a double murder took place in Fall River Massachusetts. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Borden were killed in their own home by a person or persons unknown who attacked them with an axe or hatchet-type implement. As of today the case is still unsolved and open. Many millions of words have been written about the events of that day and people still go to the home (now a Bed and Breakfast) on Second Street and think about the bloody crime that happened there so long ago. This book will take you back to the crime scene and bring to light the name and face of the one who stood over those victims with a bloody hatchet in her hand—Emma Borden! In folklore however it is Lizzie and not Emma that killed their father. Except for Prof. Masterton who maintained Lizzie's innocence in his book Lizzie Didn't Do It! with Elaine Watson Emma Borden now takes center stage. Did Emma do it?
