{"product_id":"when-father-and-son-conspire-a-minnesota-farm-murder","title":"When Father and Son Conspire: A Minnesota Farm Murder","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Father and Son Conspire examines in depth the September 29  1983  murders of two southwestern Minnesota bankers by 46-year-old James Jenkins and his 18-year-old son  Steven  on a farm mortgaged to the bankers and abandoned by Jenkins. The crime led to a nationwide search  the apparent suicide of James  the surrender of Steven  and a case for Steven s defense based on the bizarre relationship between father and son. Was their crime really the desperate act of desperate men caught in the farm crisis  as the media espoused? Or was it the eruption of both men s growing mental illness fed by mutual delusions of reality  rootlessness  divorce  loneliness  and obsessive behavior? Nine detailed chapters examine the men  their myths  the murders they ommitted  and the motivation of it all-considering facts not taken into account at the trial and concluding that the farm crisis was a convincing excuse but not the real reason for this ruthless crime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965310988341,"sku":"ByrdShop_0813819741","price":84.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780813819747.jpg?v=1770492550","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/when-father-and-son-conspire-a-minnesota-farm-murder","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
