The First Review of The Killing Fields of East New York!
The first review of my book, The Killing Fields of East New York, from Booklist! Thank you, Booklist!
“East New York was once a thriving community made up of immigrants and middle-income families … By the 1990s, hundreds in that area were murdered annually, and it was dubbed “the killing fields of New York.” This book details just how East New York became that way, and it’s not what you would expect. Horn (Damnation Island, 2018) presents a thoroughly researched narrative… Her investigation uses numerous resources including extensive interviews. Readers will be drawn into the conversational style that places them in a world that illustrates just what happens when money and power fall into the wrong hands.” —Booklist
East New York in 1857.
