Michigan's past has a more sinister side than what's commonly displayed on roadside historical markers. In Dark Side of the Mitten: Crimes of the Powerful and Powerful Criminals in Michigan's Past and Present, author Tom Carr presents a wide array of stories about Michigan's gritty and gruesome past, all told with his signature humor and irreverence.
Dark Side of the Mitten is a follow-up to Carr's best-selling Blood on the Mitten: Infamous Michigan Murders, 1700s-Present and MI BAD: Robbers, Cutthroats and Thieves in Michigan's Past and Present.
