well-crafted, suspensful tale of Boston's famous murders

Kelly offers a well-crafted and suspensful rendering of Boston's most famous murder cases of the century. Filled with home town reminiscences of the Cambridge and Boston PD, testimony by local characters, and previously uncovered information from the friends and families of the victims, this story is a compelling new chapter in the continued debate of who was Albert DeSalvo and was he the Strangler? Great moments include descriptions of the excesses and incompentencies of F. Lee Bailey, background on DeSalvo's peculiar pathology, exploits of a neighborhood burgler known only as the Green Man, and theories about convict (and alternative suspect) George Nassar. If you like fictional mysteries, try the real thing--it's a thrill.

Shocking and compelling read!

This true crime story truly puts together the pieces of a strange puzzle. Well-written, exciting and fast-paced. Also shows how the criminal justice and legal systems can really turn things around for their own convenience, even if it means sending an innocent man to jail. Anyone interested in reading about how politics and law converge and result in disaster should read this book.
