"Binged Making a Murderer? Try . . . [this] riveting portrait of a tragic, preventable crime." - Entertainment WeeklyEdgar Award finalist for Best Fact CrimeA Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter's gripping account of one young man's path to murder - and a wake-up call for mental health care in America On a summer night in 2009, three lives intersected in one American neighborhood. Two people newly in love - Teresa Butz and Jennifer Hopper, who spent many years trying to find themselves and who eventually found each other - and a young man on a dangerous psychological descent: Isaiah Kalebu, age twenty-three, the son of a distant, authoritarian father and a mother with a family history of mental illness. All three paths forever altered by a violent crime, all three stories a wake-up call to the system that failed to see the signs.
