Within nine years of the early 1900s, five brutal crimes took place in the city of Dayton, Ohio. In a time where police work was not backed up by technological proof, the murders remained unsolved leaving a killer on the loose.
Brian Forschner's "Cold Serial" is a well researched and intriguing take on what really happened during those years.
The true crime genre is vivid and chilling when told from the right perspective. Forschner uses language to bring the reader into each setting, conversation and into the trickery of a time when women struggled with social and political placement.

Forschner is a natural storyteller who uses mere fact, diligent research and a passion to find the truth to resurrect this cold case that he may have solved.
