このコンテンツについて
Long before the specter of terrorism haunted the public imagination, a serial bomber stalked the streets of 1950s New York. The race to catch him would give birth to a new science called criminal profiling.
Grand Central, Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall - for almost two decades, no place was safe from the man who signed his anonymous letters "FP" and left his lethal devices in phone booths, storage lockers, even tucked into the plush seats of movie theaters. His victims were left cruelly maimed. Tabloids called him "the greatest individual menace New York City ever faced."
In desperation, Police Captain Howard Finney sought the help of a little known psychiatrist, Dr. James Brussel, whose expertise was the criminal mind. Examining crime scene evidence and the strange wording in the bomber's letters, he compiled a portrait of the suspect down to the cut of his jacket. But how to put a name to the description?
Seymour Berkson - a handsome New York socialite, protégé of William Randolph Hearst, and publisher of the tabloid The Journal-American - joined in pursuit of the Mad Bomber. The three men hatched a brilliant scheme to catch him at his own game. Together they would capture a monster and change the face of American law enforcement.
This program includes a prologue read by the author.

Editors Select, April 2017 - Michael Cannell's latest book transports listeners to 1950s New York, when a serial bomber was terrorizing the city. The race to bring the aptly named "Mad Bomber" to justice ultimately leads to the development of criminal profiling, a fascinating subset of psychology. This highly accessible investigative work uniquely combines the perspectives of a handful of important players in order to create a suspenseful and engaging storyline. Narrator Peter Berkrot makes this captivating tale that much more captivating with his "facts first" tone of voice. Incendiary is perfect for fans of true crime - or really anyone who finds themselves watching CSI marathons for hours straight. A fair warning from personal experience - try not to listen to this when you're in a crowded, public place. You may find yourself suspiciously eyeing everyone. Laura, Audible Editor
