A smooth romancer who left women as quickly as he wooed them. An undercover Confederate agent proficient in Civil War~era terrorism. Alexander "Sandy" Keith was one of the most devious criminals of the nineteenth century, orchestrating the most infamous terrorist plots of the Civil War. But Ann Larabee shows us that Sandy's criminal career didn't stop at domestic terrorism. In peacetime, dogged by creditors and victims of his frauds, Sandy kept on the move, leaving an increasing number of scams, schemes, and cheated women in his wake. As his situation became more desperate, his obsession with explosives and violence intensified. Finally, in 1875, while posing as a prosperous American businessman living in Germany, Sandy's obsessive machinations proved deadly and earned him the nickname of the "Dynamite Fiend." The horrifying plot ultimately unfolded on a dock when a bomb ~ designed by Sandy ~ exploded, killing eighty people and injuring fifty more. Larabee's prose deftly moves between thriller, biography, and historical account to highlight the "Crime of the Century" as a desperate last act of a power~obsessed criminal. The Dynamite Fiend is an engrossing tale of hidden identity, technological obsession, and an unparalleled lust for profit and power in nineteenth century history.…
