by “Horn unspools a fast-paced and at times crackling yarn about the Brooklyn prosecutors and F.B.I. agents who pursued predatory lenders and brokers, as well as the bought-and-paid-for federal officials who enabled them. . . . The Killing Fields of East New York is a compelling reminder of the catastrophic consequences of white-collar crime.” ―New York Times
“The Killing Fields of East New York is a dense and fascinating read, laying bare so many of the issues that continue to plague America’s cities and the ways in which race and class are wielded against people who strive to create healthy communities. The subject matter is sad, dark, frustrating, and complex, but Horn’s coverage shines a much-needed light.” ―BookReporter.com
A picture of Wyona Street in East New York, Brooklyn. This street is featured in my book.
They’re all such beautiful streets, it’s hard (and sad) to imagine so many bad things happening in the area. That’s what really makes the out-of-reach financial crimes that you describe being perpetrated on this area so infuriating.
