Publisher's Summary

A new look at the 1937 abduction of a wealthy wife and mother, based on previously classified FBI documents.

When she was kidnapped from Long Meadow Farm in Stony Brook, New York, in 1937, Alice McDonell Parsons was the heir to a vast fortune among Long Island's wealthy elite. The crime shocked the nation and was front-page news for several months.

J. Edgar Hoover personally assigned his best FBI agents to the case, and within a short time, Parsons's husband and their live-in housekeeper, Anna Kupryanova, had become prime suspects. Botched ransom attempts, clashes between authorities, and romantic intrigue kept the investigation mired in drama. The crime remained unsolved. Now, in this book, former Suffolk County detective Steven C. Drielak reveals previously classified FBI documents-and pieces together the mystery of the Alice Parsons kidnapping.

It will remain a cliffhanger

This was a pretty interesting book. There is a strong case against the suspects but it’s shocking that they were never arrested. It’s like they truly did get away with murder. The unresolved case is a bit unsatisfying, but it’s right there in the title, so I can’t be disappointed.
