Over the course of seven a few months in 1988, eleven ladies disappeared from the streets of New Bedford, Massachusetts, a gloomy, drug-addled coastal town that was after the whaling capital from the globe. Nine turned up dead. Two were never found. As well as the perpetrator remains unknown even today.

How could such a thing happen? How, in what was once about Getting rid of Time of year: The Unsolved Case of New England’s Deadliest Serial Killer one of America’s richest metropolitan areas, could the authorities let their most vulnerable residents down this badly? As Carlton Smith, a Pulitzer Reward finalist for his insurance of the Green River Killer case, demonstrates in this riveting account, it was the inability of police officers and politicians alike to set apart their personal agendas that allow a psychopath off the hook.

In Killing Time of year, Smith takes readers into a close-knit community of working-class women and men, an underworld of prostitution and substance abuse, and the halls of New Britain police to tell the story of an epic failure of justice.
