I‘m a bit of a mystery fiend & I‘m a true crime tragic. When I was very young it was The Famous Five then Trixie Belden before moving on to Helter Skelter at 11, which is about the Manson murders & I was irreparably hooked for life. This is about the contract killing of an accountant in NYC in 82 which was seen by 3 CBS employees who were also gunned down. Eventually it‘s tied to a diamond dealer & his federal fraud. Well researched & written.

Playing catch up with the last weeks #BookMail Pt1 is this non fiction about a contract killing of an accountant in New York City which was, unfortunately for them, witnessed by 3 CBS employees who were gunned down as collateral damage. A snapshot of NYC in the early 80s, it‘s another addition to my #NonFiction2019
