On a snowy New Year’s Day, 1947, in Little Rock, Arkansas, Police Chief O. N. Martin gunned down his lieutenant, Jack Deubler, and then killed himself. The threads of crime, conspiracy, violence, racism, and madness that led to this tragic true-crime case of murder-suicide are retraced in Two Dead, which follows in the footsteps of true-crime epics such as Green River Killer.

I was a crime reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper, covering homicides in the wrong part of town at the wrong time of night. I started reading up on the city’s history, and what first caught my attention is how insane Little Rock used to be. It was strictly segregated, and had a serious organized crime presence. The police of that era were often Wild West-style lawmen, prone to solving problems with their service pistol. Amid that era, this crime was the most bizarre and impactful, as the police themselves were dragged into a maelstrom of race and mental illness.
