Summary:
"New York City, March 13, 1964. A young woman, Catherine "
Kitty
"
Genovese
, is stabbed to death on her front stoop, butchered by a sociopathic killer in plain sight of 38 neighbors who "didn’t want to get involved." Her sensational case launched a theory in Social Psychology known as the "Bystander Effect."
Kitty
Genovese
was a vibrant young woman -- unbeknownst to most, a lesbian -- a bartender working (and dancing) her way through the colorful, fast-changing New York of the '60s. Cook reconstructs the
crime
, tracing the movements of
Genovese
's killer, Winston Moseley, whose disturbing trial testimony made him a terrifying figure to police and citizens alike, especially after his escape from Attica State Prison"--Provided by publisher.
