MURDER ALONG THE WAY True Crime in America's Suburbs

Paperback. Rockland County. A small quiet, upper middle-class suburb, far removed from big-city crime and violence. That's what its residents thought when they chose to live there. That's what Kenneth Gribetz thought when he became the county's DA in 1974. Instead, Gribetz found himself prosecuting some of the most sensational and savage crimes of recent years including : the infamous Brink's robbery and cop killings by remnants of the radical '60s; the husband who brutally strangled his wife - and then left a trail of evidence so blatantly obvious that the case was solved within 24 hours; and the sadomasochistic murder involving powerful New York City art dealer Andrew Crispo, in which the only clues were the charred and half-devoured remains of the victim and a sexual torture death mask. Illus. 294pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
