}}

Back in the early nineteen sixties President Kennedy was in the White House and his home city was being terrorised by a man who raped and murdered women in their own homes. He came to be known as The Boston Strangler. Sebastian Junger developed an interest in the case because of a chance connection with his own family.

If this book appeals to you then you might also enjoy Jack of Jumps by David Seabrook, which also deals with the murder of women during the same period but in London. Just a warning though - this book is marred by a suggestion that a living person is guilty of the unsolved murders and is not up to the standard of ''A Death in Belmont''.
