Welcome to Litsy!

In September 1982, 19-year-old Ricardo Melogno murdered four taxi drivers in the span of a week. He was arrested within weeks and has spent his life in prison and psych units. Thirty years after the crimes, he sat down with the author for several conversations, which resulted in this book. Melogno has served his full sentence but authorities won‘t release him under the fear he may be a threat to society.

Over the span of a week in 1982 a man went on spree & killed four taxi drivers for no apparent reason. This book is essentially the edited transcript of many interviews with the killer in jail years after the murders. I found this to be an interesting & fast read but wish there was more information outside of the interviews. I would have preferred a bit more of the aftermath & impact the murders had on the families of the victims and the city.
