Qatl rū-yi 'arshah: Persian 1401

Just at the time when the daily consumption of one million oysters in a city of two million people had made it impossible to find oysters to catch and eat in restaurants in the port of New York, small and large boats and ships from New York were going to the seas to catch oysters for the medicine of New Yorkers. It was Wednesday, March 21, 1860, when the captain of a sailing ship, seeing a corpse abandoned in the sea, went towards it and as soon as he stepped on the deck, he encountered a sea of blood. A sea of blood showed that a gruesome killing had taken place without any trace of the victims or the killer/killers. This scene and this event, whose reports and storytelling inspired many stories, films, and series of a century later, was one of the strangest criminal adventures of the second half of the 19th century in America. The book "Death Famous: Murder on Deck" tells the story of this crime, which finally ended with the arrest and execution of the famous pirate and criminal, "Albert W. Hicks"; A man who believed that he was possessed by the devil when he killed four people on the deck, and because of this, the bodies were buried in the depths of the seas in such a way that no bodies were ever found! Murder on the Deck, Harold Schecter's chronicle of a crime whose legends surrounding the killer caused more than 10 thousand people to attend his execution!
