Sebastian Junger starts this book of his search for the Boston Strangler in Junger's family
home near Boston when he was a child and his mama employed the main character which was later arrested as the Boston Strangler. The other main character is a poor black man and we are allowed to view how he is treated by the people in Massachusetts during this time period. In perfect Junger style he does a superb job developing the character of all the people involved and answers the reader's questions with his quality research. You become so involved you become part of the decision process. I enjoyed it and easily see why this timely book was such a great seller.
