A young man brutally murders a teenage girl. He is tried, convicted and placed on death row. End of story right? Somehow Edgar Smith convinces a well respected journalist as well as a Knopf editor to publish his book and then convinced of his innocence, rally for his release. After almost a decade and a half on death row Edgar is released and set free to commit yet another heinous crime. This is the type of story that you can't help wondering how on Earth this man managed to fool so many people - William F. Buckley, his book editor and several other women in his life. A vivid account inside the criminal mind and the power of the media to convince us. A must for all true crime aficionados and how public opinion is swayed. 4 stars
