The case sparked national outrage when the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e revealed that dozens of witnesses had seen or heard the attacks on Kitty Genovese and her struggle to reach safety but had failed to come to her aid--or even call police until after the killer had fled. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book cuts through misinformation and conjecture to present a definitive portrait of the crime, the aftermath, and the people. Based on six years of research, Catherine Pelonero's book presents the facts from the police reports, archival material, court documents, and first-hand interviews. Pelonero offers a personal look at Kitty Genovese, an ambitious young woman viciously struck down in the prime of her life; Winston Moseley, the killer who led a double life as a responsible family man by day and a deadly predator by night; the consequences for a community condemned; and others touched by the tragedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeyond just a true crime story, the book embodies much larger themes: the phenomenon of bystander inaction, the evolution of a serial killer, and the fears and injustices spawned by the stark prejudices of an era, many of which linger to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Pelonero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628737069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628737066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/10\/2014 pg. 73","brand":"Catherine Pelonero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078541340927,"sku":"9781628737066","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e6b4cdf-b9cc-4484-abcf-8c84c7eff7bd.jpg?v=1685476112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kitty-genovese-catherine-pelonero-9781628737066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
