The Mad Bomber of New York
The Extraordinary True Story of the Manhunt That Paralyzed a City
Description
Between 1940 and 1957, 33 bombs–strategically placed in Grand Central, Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall, Macys and other populous areas of New York–paralyzed the city, sending shockwaves of fear through an unsuspecting public.
George Metesky, the “Mad Bomber,” unleashed a reign of terror that reverberated through Americas social, legal, and political landscape, ultimately spurring the birth of modern criminal profiling when a crime psychiatrist was called in to assist in the manhunt. Compelling historical true crime, The Mad Bomber of New York is the gripping tale of two individuals engaged in a deadly game of hide-and-seek, with the city of New York caught in the crosshairs.
