Description
On September 6th, 1949, a shocking mass shooting took place in East Camden, New Jersey, leaving thirteen people dead in less than twelve minutes. This is the true story of the first recorded mass shooting in America, a tale of revenge and tragedy.
Through the eyes of a young boy who witnessed the event and the mother trying to piece together her son's mind, Ellen Green uncovers the chilling story of Howard Unruh, a quiet oddball who meticulously planned his revenge on the neighbors who shunned him. With access to Howard's diaries, police reports, and psychiatric records, Green sheds new light on this disturbing case.
With a gripping narrative that draws on newly released sources, A Murder in the Neighborhood will appeal to fans of true crime and historical non-fiction, including readers who enjoy works such as In Cold Blood and American Predator.
