“A murder in the present intertwines with a set of killings from the past in D.M. 
Pulley's engaging, addictive thriller.  Pulley is both a natural storyteller and a meticulous
researcher... The Unclaimed Victim is a haunting and un-put-downable novel!”

-Dan Chaon,  author of Ill Will

​

“The true-crime lover will rip through D.M. Pulley's fictitious take on two women -- decades apart -- trying to crack the unsolved case of the Torso Muderer, who dismembered at least 12 victims in the 1930s.”

-Cleveland Magazine

​

“D.M. Pulley has come up with a page-turner that puts a whole new spin on the Torso Murders.”

-The Plain Dealer

​

“The Unclaimed Victim is a new exploration of Cleveland's most notorious unsolved mystery - who was the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run? D.M. Pulley offers a chilling explanation... Has she cracked the case that drove Eliott Ness insane? I think maybe.”

-James Renner, author of True Crime Addict

​

“Thoroughly grounded in the sparse known facts of the murders, Pulley’s well-paced and, at times, even hair-raising thriller also successfully portrays the gritty social and human realities of
Depression Era Cleveland. Her use of a parallel narrative structure is enviably cunning, and her plucky but beleaguered heroines—1930s Ethel and 1990s Kris—will have readers rooting for them from first page to last." -John Stark Bellamy II, author of They Died Crawling

​

“D.M. Pulley dips from past to present with the touch of a master, squaring the bloody circle of two lives with an ending that’s both shocking... and perfect.”

-Matthew Iden, the Amazon best-selling author of The Winter Over
