Let me just say that as a true crime fan, this book did all the things for me: gave me all the facts (more than I could have ever expected), allowed me the opportunity to analyze evidence as it was being uncovered at the time, and create my own “profile” of the type of person I believed would commit these types of crimes. Green also takes the time to delve into New York and New Jersey’s LGBTQ culture, treatment (including by law enforcement), and how those actions spoke volumes towards the general attitude towards the LGBTQ community in the wake of the AIDS epidemic. Elon Green gives his readers an immensely detailed account of the killer’s crimes from the first attributed to his last, leading us through his horrific acts as they’re uncovered–with the victims recovered–post-mortem. The first whole account of the not-so-well-known yet notorious serial murderer known as the Last Call Killer. □□: homicide, homophobia, hate crimes, extreme graphic violence, assault, date rape.
