Description
"Gripping and bizarre . . . A compelling account of a dangerously angry man and the investigation that helped to revolutionize modern police work." -Kirkus Reviews
Between 1940 and 1957, thirty-three bombs-strategically placed in Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall, Macy's, and other crowded areas of New York-paralyzed the city, sending shockwaves of fear through the public.
George Metesky, the "Mad Bomber," unleashed a reign of terror that reverberated through America's social, legal, and political landscape, ultimately spurring the birth of modern criminal profiling when a psychiatrist was called in to assist in the manhunt. A compelling work of historical true crime, The Mad Bomber of New York is the gripping tale of two individuals engaged in a deadly game of hide-and-seek, with the city of New York caught in the crosshairs.
"A full-fledged biography that evokes the chaos and media circus that the terrorist, George P. Metesky, engendered." -The New York Times
"Masterfully told . . . a first-rate true-crime story." -Scott Christianson, author of Bodies of Evidence
