In 1930, Dr. Andrew Bass murdered his accomplice in what was thought to be the largest attempted life insurance fraud in the history of the country. The day after the murder, Bass and a local bootlegger unloaded the body from Bass' car and laid it on the side of a highway in Northwest Arkansas, setting in motion one of the wildest mysteries anyone in the Ozarks had ever seen. Newspaper accounts after Bass' arrest described the doctor as a farmer and an entrepreneur, but he was also the author's great-grandfather.
