A Death in Belmont Audiobook (Free)

In 1963, with the city of Boston already terrified by a series of savage crimes known as the Boston Stranglings, a murder occurred in the calm suburb of Belmont, just a few blocks from the home of Sebastian Junger’s family — a murder that seemed to fit the pattern of the Strangler. Roy Smith, a dark man who got cleansed the victim’s home that time, was arrested, tried, and convicted, but the terror from the Strangler continued.

Two years later on, Albert DeSalvo, a handyman who was simply about A Death in Belmont working on the Jungers’ house on the day from the Belmont murder, and had often spent period there alone with Sebastian and his mother, confessed in lurid fine detail to being the Boston Strangler.

This is the point of entry to Junger’s first book-length project because the Perfect Surprise: a narrowly averted tragedy for Junger’s family opens out into an electrifying exploration of race and justice in America. By turns thrilling and simple, the narrative chronicles three lives that collide — and so are ultimately damaged — in the vortex of one from the first & most controversial serial murder situations in America. The energy of the story as well as the brilliance of Junger’s reporting place this reserve for the brief shelf of classics beside In Chilly Bloodstream and Helter Skelter.
