Inside The Book
The book opens with “The Bible Thumping Dark Angel,” an unsettling account of Baptist minister Matt Baker, a man of God whose charm and community standing masked a sinister capacity for deception and murder. Through relentless investigation and damning testimony, Baker is revealed not as a grieving widower but a calculating killer who drugged and smothered his wife, perhaps even responsible for his own daughter’s death years earlier.
About the Author
“Texas Crime Stories” by Peabody Award-winning investigative reporter Robert Riggs is more than a compilation of murders and violence—it’s a deep dive into the complex intersection of human depravity, law enforcement tenacity, and the fragile line between good and evil. These stories remind us that in Texas, the truth is often stranger—and far darker—than fiction.
