Renowned prosecuting attorney Robert K. Tanenbaum provides the first insider's account of the historic Wylie-Hoffert case: the 1963 rape and murder of two young women in their Manhattan apartment, dubbed the "Career Girls Murders" by the media. From the shocking crime to the wrenching interrogation, confession, and incarceration of an innocent young black man with an IQ of less than 70, this is a gripping chronicle of the case that led to the Miranda Rights -- and of the courageous stand by a young Assistant District Attorney who risked everything to unravel a disgraceful injustice and forever reformed the American justice system.
