Description
This chilling true-crime account examines the life and crimes of Albert Fish, one of America’s most notorious killers, and the investigation into the disappearance of Grace Budd. Reconstructing the case through the work of law enforcement, witness accounts, and the sensational trial that followed, it explores how an outwardly unremarkable man concealed a deeply disturbing criminal pathology. The narrative confronts themes of deception, predatory violence, public fascination, and the limits of society’s ability to recognize evil. Meticulously researched and unflinching in style, it offers both a grim chronicle of a landmark case and a probing study of the criminal mind.
