Recenzii

"A historically rich and heady tale...fascinating." —Elle

"Tightly constructed and authentically dramatic...a powerful reconstruction of the crime." —The New York Times Book Review

"A fascinating, complex study...Bourke uses the horrific murder as a springboard to tell a larger story about sex, religion, and politics." —USA Today
