The Waltham-Boston Connection: A Chilling Investigation Into The Murders And The Bombing That Linked Two Brothers

By Len McDougall

Book Overview

What is the connection between the brutal and mysterious triple homicide that occurred in a suburban apartment in Massachusetts on September 11, 2011, and the horrific and shocking terrorist attack that rocked the heart of downtown Boston on April 15, 2013? The answer is Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the mastermind and the leader of the bombing, who was also a suspect in the murders, along with his friend Ibragim Todashev, who was killed by the FBI during an interrogation.

In this book, the author explores the evidence and the speculation that suggest a possible link between the two crimes, as well as the implications and the consequences of such a link. He also analyzes the challenges and the failures of the authorities, the media, and the public in investigating and solving the two cases, as well as in addressing and acknowledging the mistakes and the oversights that they made.

This book is a comprehensive and compelling account of the connection and the controversy between the Waltham murders and the Boston Marathon bombing, and a valuable and enjoyable read for anyone who is interested and concerned by these two crimes that shocked and puzzled the nation.

How did the authorities miss the clues and the opportunities that could have prevented the bombing? How did the media and the public react and cope with the terror and the trauma? How did the prosecution and the defense present and argue their cases in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? How can we prevent and overcome similar crimes in the future?
