The police task force investigated more than 3,000 suspects while politicians watched a city fall into panic. Yet the interest didn’t fade after an arrest was made, and the criminal justice system showed itself incapable of coping with the man who committed such horrendous crimes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Based on more than three hundred recorded conversations between David Berkowitz and psychiatrists, police, district attorneys, and his defense counsel, along with his own handwritten notes and diaries, as well as the accounts of the survivors and the families of victims, this chilling true-crime book thoroughly explores the full horror of Son of Sam.","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":60378415956254,"sku":"9781668275955","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8436\/0222\/files\/9781668275955.jpg?v=1792444300","url":"https:\/\/shop.simonandschuster.com\/products\/9781668275955","provider":"Simon and Schuster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
