Omschrijving

"A thoughtful, compelling reexamination of an intriguing story of fatal obsession and its enduring mysteries."-Kirkus Reviews

"Well-researched and a page turner..."--Library Journal

The disappearance of a
twenty-one-year-old woman from a Massachusetts suburb became one of the most
discussed crimes of the twentieth century. The discussion intensified when the
public learned that she worked as a prostitute in Boston's notorious
red-light district, the "Combat Zone," and was linked by a trail of blood to a
famous professor from Tufts University.

When Robin Benedict vanished
the investigation and media circus that gripped the city of Boston hadn't been seen
since the days of the Boston Strangler case. On a Sunday morning in March 1983,
a small-time pimp walked into a police station and claimed his girlfriend was
missing. He said she had been on her way to visit a client named William
Douglas. In the year that followed, the case drew in detectives, state
troopers, scores of journalists, and even psychics. But Robin was never found.

Boston Tabloid reconstructs
a grisly murder, and explores one man's bizarre obsession. In revisiting this
legendary crime, Don Stradley consulted journalists involved in the media
frenzy, prison authorities, arresting officers, and psychiatrists, all in an
effort to unravel a most tangled story. Why was the city, and the nation, swept
up in this sordid tale? It remains a grim and fascinating moment in Boston's
history.
