The New York Times bestseller - now in paperback, with a new afterword
"A must-read for those who care about justice and integrity in our public institutions."
-- Alan M. Dershowitz, Esq. The Definitive Story of One of the Most Infamous Murders of the Twentieth Century and the Heartbreaking Miscarriage of Justice That Followed On Halloween, 1975, fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley's body was found brutally murdered outside her home in swanky Greenwich, Connecticut. Twenty-seven years after her death, the State of Connecticut spent some $25 million to convict her friend and neighbor, Michael Skakel, of the murder. The trial ignited a media firestorm that transfixed the nation. Now Skakel's cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., solves the baffling whodunit and clears Michael Skakel's name. In this revised edition, which includes developments following the Connecticut Supreme Court decision, Kennedy chronicles how Skakel was railroaded amidst a media frenzy and a colorful cast of characters--from a crooked cop and a narcissistic defense attorney to a parade of perjuring witnesses.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is known for his work as an environmental lawyer, activist, and author. He has penned several books focusing primarily on environmental issues, American politics, and the Kennedy family legacy. Some of his notable works include Crimes Against Nature, The Riverkeepers, and Framed. His writing is often informed by his legal and environmental activism, aiming to educate and inspire action for environmental conservation and sustainable policies.
Kennedy's literary contributions extend his advocacy by challenging corporate and political behaviors that risk environmental health. His works have earned him recognition not only as an author but also as a prominent voice in environmental advocacy. As a member of the Kennedy family, his writings also occasionally touch on biographical elements, exploring the dynamics of one of America's most notable families.
Born on January 17, 1954, in Washington, D.C., Kennedy grew up in a prominent political family, being the son of Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy. His upbringing in a family deeply involved in American politics has significantly influenced his career and writing. Outside of his professional life, he enjoys spending time outdoors, particularly in activities that connect him with nature, reflecting his commitment to environmental issues.
