Description
This gripping work of true crime reconstructs the Easter Sunday murders, a shocking case that triggered a nationwide manhunt and captured the public imagination. Drawing on extensive research and archival records, it traces the life of a troubled, talented sculptor whose religious obsessions, stunted emotional development, and romantic fixations spiraled into violence. More than a murder narrative, the book examines the uneasy intersection of art, mental illness, sexuality, faith, and criminal justice. Meticulously researched and vividly told, it offers a compelling portrait of both a killer and the society fascinated by his crimes.
