The Case of the Vanishing Blonde

The Case of the Vanishing Blonde collects six of Bowden's most riveting stories-accounts spanning four decades of fascinating characters and unsettling tales to illustrate all manner of crimes and the ways technology has progressively altered criminal investigation. From a 1983 story of a University of Pennsylvania campus rape that sparked a national debate over the nature of consent, to three cold cases featuring the inimitable Long Island private detective Ken Brennan and a startling investigation into a murderer deep within the LAPD's ranks-shielded for twenty six years by officers keen to protect one of their own-these stories are the work of a masterful narrative journalist.
