AN UNPUTDOWNABLE TRUE CRIME STORY SET IN THE PULP-FICTION-OBSESSED WORLD OF 1930s AMERICA.
On Easter Sunday 1937, Bob Irwin - a handsome, failing sculptor with a history of depression and psychopathic episodes - commited a grisly triple murder. Creeping back to the flat of his ex-landlady, Mary Gedeon, in a swish New York borough, Irwin killed Mrs Gedeon, her lodger, and her stunning daughter Ronnie with an ice-pick.
Crafted like a Chandler novel, The Mad Sculptor thrillingly relates Irwins crime, flight and capture, his trial and its aftermath, whilst painting a warts-and-all portrait of 1930s America.
