The Full Story of NYC's Mad Bomber You Always Hoped For

This not only fulfills the long unknown questions about New York City's one-time "unknown Mad Bomber" but also gives us insight into the hard work the NYC Police Force, its detectives and all of its sworn police employees who honored their oaths to the US Constitution to protect us and how hard they worked to uncover the mean and deathly deeds of George Metesky, this unsavory human being. He should have gotten the electric chair but the Liberal judge of New York gave him 20 years and he was out in 18 years. You will be appalled at what he did, how sick he was, and how easily he was let off the hook to come back into society and live so comfortably like most of the rest of us have not. Great book! Highly recommended!
