NIGHTLY READING THREAD: Welcome to Edition #49 of #GMGReads. Every night through this weird time, I'm tweeting out a list of my five favorite books around a general theme—and a link to an indie bookstore where you can order them online....
Tonight, I thought I'd share from amazing true crime stories, all, as they say, ripped from the headlines....
1) Long before "Breaking Bad," Mark Bowden's DOCTOR DEALER tells the story of a regular Philly physician who built a massive cocaine empire: bookshop.org/books/doctor-d…
2) She's best know for her writing on Russia and Putin, but Masha Gessen (@mashagessen) also wrote a fantastic—and worrisome—book about the unanswered questions behind the Boston Marathon Bombing: powells.com/book/-97815946…
3) Dick Lehr and Gerald O'Neill teamed up in BLACK MASS to investigate the case of Whitey Bulger and his corrupt partnership with a Boston FBI agent: powells.com/book/-97816103…
4) Patricia Clin Cohen's (@clinecohenp) MURDER OF HELEN JEWETT recreates perhaps the first tabloid true crime sensation in America, the lingering mystery behind a case from 1836: powells.com/book/-97806794…
5) If you're interested in getting into money laundering, definitely check out Ann Woolner's WASHED IN GOLD, a wild tale of money laundering that gets into the real nuts and bolts: betterworldbooks.com/product/detail…
