THE MAN NOBODY KILLED

New York Times “The events recounted in Green’s swift, unsparing book are as timely as ever; one can only hope they still have the power to shock.” Hell Gate "Green's book is a vivid history of a singular moment in New York City, and everything that produced it." Publishers Weekly [★ review] "This sterling true crime account from Edgar winner Green plunges readers into the gritty landscape of 1980s New York City … It’s a harrowing look at a forgotten tragedy." Kirkus Reviews [★ review] "This smart, no-stone-unturned investigation into the horrific encounter between police and a young man of color doubles as a perceptive portrait of 1980s New York City, where, then as now, cynicism and corruption so often ran roughshod over the relatively powerless. … [A] damning portrait of violence without consequences.” Lux “…not so much investigative journalism as meticulously researched narrative preservation.” Boston Globe “[B]listeringly smart and surprisingly tender in telling a story that could feel all too familiar.” Best Evidence “He makes the nightmare compelling.”

LAST CALL

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.” 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.”
