SUMMARY:DGC Book Club - “Genealogy of a Murder: Four Generations\, Three Families\, One Fateful Night”
DESCRIPTION:Brown bag lunch 12:30 – Book discussion begins 1:00 \n\n\n\nGenealogy library \n\n\n\n~ // ~ \n\n\n\nBelkin\, Lisa. Genealogy of a Murder: Four Generations\, Three Families\, One Fateful Night. Nonfiction. 2024 Independence Day weekend\, 1960: a young cop is murdered\, shocking his close-knit community in Stamford\, Connecticut. The killer remains at large\, his identity still unknown. But on a beach not far away\, a young Army doctor\, on vacation from his post at a research lab in a maximum-security prison\, faces a chilling realization. He knows who the shooter is. In fact\, the man—a prisoner out on parole—had called him only days before. By helping his former charge and trainee\, the doctor\, a believer in second chances\, may have inadvertently helped set the murder into motion. And with that one phone call\, may have sealed a policeman’s fate.  \n\n\n\nAlvin Tarlov\, David Troy\, and Joseph DeSalvo were all born of the Great Depression\, all with grandparents who’d left different homelands for the same American Dream. How did one become a doctor\, one a cop\, and one a convict? In Genealogy of a Murder\, journalist Lisa Belkin traces the paths of each of these three men—one of them her stepfather. Her canvas is large\, spanning the first half of the twentieth century: immigration\, the struggles of the working class\, prison reform\, medical experiments\, politics and war\, the nature/nurture debate\, epigenetics\, the infamous Leopold and Loeb case\, and the history of motorcycle racing. It is also intimate: a look into the workings of the mind and heart.  \n\n\n\n~ // ~ \n\n\n\nTo find a copy of the book\, we recommend a public library\, audible.com\, Amazon\, local bookstores\, eBay\, AddAll.com\, betterworldbooks.com\, thriftbooks.com and other locations for used books.
