PRAISE FOR LAST CALL

Lauren Hough “Elon painstakingly detailed the infuriating mistakes the police made that allowed the killer to continue killing. He captured the city of New York, in the midst of the AIDS crisis, the bigotry and fear that made it so easy for a killer to hunt men.“ Boston Globe “Last Call is not only a great book, nor a mere historical correction. It is an act of compassion, offering space and love to men whose lives and literal bodies ended up right where their country, in its neglect, cruelty, and unfiltered hatred, wished them to go: in pieces, in the trash.” Paul Rudnick “It’s meticulously researched and horrifying…” New York Times “Terrific, harrowing, true-crime account of an elusive serial killer who preyed upon gay men in the 1990s…” NPR “Green refuses to make his victims simple.” Esquire “Green reclaims a time, a place, and a community, weaving together a decades-long forensic investigation with a poignant elegy to murdered men.” BuzzFeed "A true crime thriller and lovingly detailed portrait of the gay community in New York during the 1990s, Last Call is a gripping read." Harper's Bazaar "Far more than just a catch-a-killer tale, this book is a monument to the glittering, vibrant world created by a community well acquainted with mortality." The Economist "Departing from the tendency of the true-crime genre to centre on the killers, Mr. Green focuses on the victims in all their complexity. This is no easy feat." Bay Area Reporter "A sensitive and respectful page-turner, the very definition of a must-read." People “A riveting whodunnit and a broad cultural history of the times.” Gay & Lesbian Review ”The real achievement of this book is the portraits of the men who were murdered.”
