"The Killer and Frank Lloyd Wright is the wildest of wild rides! In Sherman's capable hands we see all aspects of this tragic story beautifully told: the love, the anguish, the blood, the fire, and the brilliance of one of America's most iconic and gifted architects. Fans of history and true crime will rejoice!" -- Kristin Dilley, co-host, Mind Over Murder Podcast

"Only Casey Sherman could have captured the scope, the intimacy, the passion and the tragedy of Frank Lloyd Wright. This book is of literary and historical importance--full of suspense and fascinating details, it also reads like a riveting, cinematic novel. It will blow you away!" -- Laurent Bouzereau, director, HBO's Faye and JAWS @ 50

"Casey Sherman maps the human trail between genius and catastrophe. The reporting is exacting, the storytelling propulsive. Along the way we get Wright unvarnished: charm, ego, scandal, and the choices that put a killer in his house. This is true history with the snap of a thriller. As an armchair architecture enthusiast, even one who has visited Taliesin, I thought I knew a lot about this story, but I turned the last page seeing Wright, and the tragedies that shadowed him, anew. Haunting." -- Laurie Gwen Shapiro, author of The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart, George Putnam, and the Marriage That Made an American Icon

"Sherman exhibits both a novelist's sense of pace and a reporter's eye for detail in this arresting true crime narrative of great passion and great tragedy. It's a heartbreaker." -- Publisher's Weekly

"Highlighting a nearly forgotten event in Wright's life, this account of the Taliesin murders will appeal to general and true crime readers." -- Library Journal

"Spellbinding and gratifyingly substantive history." -- Kirkus
