Y lo ejecuta de una forma tan real que compartirá la angustiosa incertidumbre de la familia, tan estremecedora que saboreará el miedo desde la oscuridad de un lugar desconocido, tan veraz que se ajustará el pasamontañas para meterse en la piel del secuestrador y, como no, tan cercana que participará en el proceso de negociación e investigación en primera persona.

Satan's Circus: Murder, Vice, Police Corruption, and New York's Trial of the Century
by Mike DashThey called it Satan's Circus--a square mile of Midtown Manhattan where vice ruled, sin flourished, and depravity danced in every doorway. At the turn of the twentieth century, it was a place where everyone from the chorus girls to the beat cops was on the take and where bad boys became wicked men; a place where an upstanding young policeman such as Charley Becker could become the crookedest cop who ever stood behind a shield. Murder was so common in the vice district that few people were surprised when the loudmouthed owner of a shabby casino was gunned down on the steps of its best hotel. But when, two weeks later, an ambitious district attorney charged Becker with ordering the murder, even the denizens of Satan's Circus were surprised. The handsome lieutenant was a decorated hero, the renowned leader of New York's vice-busting Special Squad. Was he a bad cop leading a double life, or a pawn felled by the sinister rogues who ran Manhattan's underworld? With appearances by the legendary and the notorious--including Big Tim Sullivan, the election-rigging vice lord of Tammany Hall; future president Theodore Roosevelt; beloved gangster Jack Zelig; and the newly famous author Stephen Crane--Satan's Circus brings to life an almost-forgotten Gotham. Chronicling Charley Becker's rise and fall, the book tells of the raucous, gaudy, and utterly corrupt city that made him, and recounts not one but two sensational murder trials that landed him in the electric chair.

Now Hayes and his sadistic partner in satanism, Archie Valetta, have been inexplicably released on parole. Lena's past has returned with a vengeance to haunt her--and to prey on yet another frightened mother and her helpless child. Approached by Valetta's desperate ex-wife, Eloise, Lena will do everything in her power to prevent history from repeating itself.
