Martin Mohr war Zuhälter, Dealer, Strippenzieher in einem Milieu, das keine Schwäche verzeiht. Er lebte im Rausch von Geld, Gewalt, Macht und Frauen. Doch mit jedem Schritt weiter ins Dunkel verlor er mehr – bis fast nichts mehr übrig blieb: keine Freiheit, keine Beziehung, kein Selbstwert.

Based on a “that can’t actually be true” story, Dead Outlaw is the darkly hilarious and wildly inventive new musical about Elmer McCurdy, an early 20th-century outlaw who became a traveling corpse and accidental celebrity. After a botched train robbery and an untimely death, Elmer’s body embarks on a decades-long postmortem adventure—through carnivals, roadside attractions, wax museums, and even a Hollywood film set. Dead Outlaw dives into the absurdity of fame, the inevitability of failure, and the meaning—or utter meaninglessness—of legacy.

Its loss sent shockwaves through the public, igniting anger, sorrow, and an urgent call for justice. This book tells the full, unflinching story behind that shocking act.
